So I have only used SPD pedals on my road and cross bike since getting started riding just a couple of years ago. I feel like I'm the only one I ride with or even just see riding that uses SPD instead of SPD-SL pedals. I feel like I would prefer them on my cross bike, especially since the shoes that go with are quite casual and easy to walk or run in, but my road bike shoes can take the SPD-SL cleats. Just wondering if I should make the change on the road bike.

First I'd like to know if they are any easier to clip into...or basically the same?

Any advantages you can think of with the SPD-SL?

Just give me your expert opinion...should I switch?

Thanks!
