Shimano or Welgo spd pedals are the only ones that I have used and prefer Shimano. I use them on all of my bikes, even the golden oldies from the fifties and sixties...


On some of my oldies, I use this style of SPD pedal and a set is presently ear marked for my late sixties Torpado touring bike...



They take a few rides to get used to SPDs, the process is sort of like learning to clutch/shift an old standard shift car. At first, you need to think about shifting, or clipping in/out. After a short while, and a come to a stop fall or two, you will have mastered the method and, if you are like me, you will NEVER go back to traps and straps...
