My touring bike is a 2014 Trek 520 and I love this bike I ride with my rear panniers fully loaded each and every time I ride mainly to get use to riding with the extra weight for when I take my first tour. Last week I did a 75 mile ride and the bike handled well but the one thing I did notice was at times I caught my self moving my feet back into position on the pedal even though I have toe clips on the pedals, this was vary irritating for me because it would break my rhythm. ( Am I the only one this happens to? )

You maybe thinking to your self or not if he has toe clips on the pedals then Y is he having to reposition his feet on the pedals. Well at times my feet will slide forward and since I wear running shoes when I ride (at the moment) mainly for the breathability of the shoe my toe's gets squashed in the toe clips..

So I am in the market for a new pedal looking to get into a clip less or a SPD pedal having never used either I am thinking of the SPD style just so I can walk with out hearing the clicking sound of the cleat hitting the ground. I am looking for a inexpensive pedal any recommendations for an SPD pedal? Plus it would be nice to have that extra power on the up stroke when I pedal....

Thanks to whom ever responds.....
