I love MKS touring pedals; they have classic looks and are perfectly functional in good weather. However, I have found that they don't do very well in the rain, unless you're willing to add toe clips, which I have learned to despise. I'm currently using big, wide, downhill MTB pedals, which work well in any conditions: http://www.bikesale.com/speedplay-dr...rm-pedals.aspx

They're not as pretty as the MKS, and more expensive, but, in all honesty, they're a LOT more practical, and over time, their ugliness kind of grows on you.
