EDIT 2: More searching found my pedals. Wellgo WPD-823. They do okay for offroad, but apparently work very well on-road. Got them for $15, so for $45 shipped I've got myself into some clipless pedals and shoes. Hope I don't fall over too much.

Good luck. If you just go slow somewhere close to home and practice clipping in and unclipping a lot (with the spring set at the lowest tension), you'll be fine. Will think about it for a while, but soon it'll be second nature.
