I have been riding now for only about 2 months but I am riding longer and longer and I am getting to the point where I think I would really benefit from toe clips or clipless. I already have these shoes:

I think since I already have the shoes that it might be a good idea to go clipless, even though I have never done it before. I have used toe clips in the past, in fact I tried to swap the pedals from my old bike that had toe clips but gave up after bending 3 wrenches lol.
Since I am completely new to this I am not sure which pedals/cleats/etc. to get that will work with my shoes. I am pretty sure I want mountain SPD pedals and I would prefer the ones with platform on one side and clip on the other. Can someone point me to what I need exactly? Suggestions for good but not too expensive stuff would be very welcome. I would prefer to spend under $100 or so if possible.
Also once I have the stuff, anything special that needs done to set them up?
