I need two sets of the ones Dwayne linked right above.

I'm a "no clips, ever!" rider and need two new sets right now for a couple of bikes, but I don't like the ones with the little allen-head set screws sticking up out of them. A couple people told me they will rip up your legs if they come in contact with your skin. I mentioned that to an employee in a bike shop recently. He was wearing shorts and pointed down to the back of his legs and said, "Like this?" He was all scarred up from them.

I don't claim to have pretty legs but I prefer not to bleed any more than necessary.

I found a cool-looking set of pedals at a local REI store but didn't buy them after getting the strong-arm sales pitch to join their club from not only the cashier I went to but two of her colleagues (cult members?) who overheard our conversation and came running over to try to close the deal.

I'm still tempted to go back and brave the commission-hungry recruiters just to snag a set of these: http://www.rei.com/product/752213/we...14-city-pedals
