--eggbeater cleats click less than SPD cleats when walking

maybe, depends on how much it is recessed into the shoe sole.

--spds are more durable

I have not broken either (there are a lot of different SPD's)


--eggbeaters will feel more like clip/straps as your foot will have play at the pedal

both types have some float (play)


--spds are bad for your knees

not if adjusted properly and used with good shoes that fit you well.... same goes for eggs


--candy's are just like eggbeaters, except that they have only two sides and funky colors

no, candy's have the same 4 sided mechanism that rotates inside a 2 sided small platform that gives more bearing surface for your foot.


--there is no such thing as a crank brothers pedal with a platform on one side for boots, etc

not sure, maybe the mallett


--time ATACs are just like eggbeaters, but two-sided

haven't used them
