I'll probably end up ordering online, but I would like to support the shop I bought my bike from so I'll probably check there first.

Specialized makes a set of plastic, BMX-style pedals. Your local shop might stock them. I am not so sure about the plastic though. All my own pedals are metal.

Really, any decent-quality pinned pedal will do the job. They are a great choice if you just want to be able to hop on your bike and ride. (Just don't go barefoot. LOL!)
Those Wellgo MG-1's look nice and they're not too expensive on ebay. I'm definitely going to check out my LBS before making a decision though.

When I was looking around I noticed some pedals were offered in 1/2" threading and 9/16", what's standard? I assume most pedals that don't really specify will work on my bike, but I want to be sure.

Thanks for the help guys.
