I only commute 5 miles a day, but would like to do do some bike over-nighter's and maybe touring someday. Also do any of you use clippless on technical trails, or should I stick to sneakers? Thanks in advance for all your answers.
When I was a bike commuter I rode with Eggbeaters. Very easy to get into and out of.
I'm not 73 and have used Speedplay Ultralight Action pedals on my road bikes since 2012. Also VERY easy to get into and out of.
