Well I picked up a set of m324 pedals never used for$25 then couldn't believe I found a pair of Shimano mtn. Bike shoes in my size like new in a local thrift store for $9 . Been using them for a couple weeks with no mishaps. In my opinion they are pretty easy to get in and out of after a short time. I believe the only mishaps would occur if your not paying attention and not thinking in which case you shouldn't be in the road
