If your shoes will take two-bolt cleats, I'd switch to SPDs (M520s or similar) as they are really easy to get in and out of and, being double-sided, you don't have to flip the pedal to get to the correct side. It is a great system to learn on. If your shoes only accept three bolt cleats, the SPD-SL pedals are fairly easy to engage/disengage. Both styles have adjustment screws that allow you to set the spring tension. I always run them at the lowest setting and have never had an accidental release.
