This means that to clip in you just push the front of the pedal down with your toe. They didn't do this consistently until they were broken in. Once I figured out that they hung like that, I never had to look down anymore.
The A530s are actually easier to get into than my road pedals that are completely upside down and have to be flipped before using. The cleats just slide right into place as the pedal levels out.
PaulRivers---you might give them a chance to break in, or find a used eBarf pair. I think you'd like them a lot better with a several hundred miles on them.
