Being that it is used, who knows? Either way, a bike shop should be able to toss in a pair of cheapo plastic platforms if needed to help get one riding right away.

Badbird2000, personally, I like Look pedals. No gigantic reason except I've been riding them since High School. I tried Speedplays because they look super cool but didn't like how they clip in or the way the float feels. Unless you want "walkable" shoes, any road shoe will have the three bolt pattern that will fit road cleats so find the shoes you like and go from there. I suggest starting at the shop selling you the bike.
