I use Frogs on my old Trek road bike - just did the North Fork Century (bailed after 47 miles or so due to the nasty rain!).

I like the Frogs as they are super easy to get in/out of, once I realized there is no 'click' to let you know you're in. They are also quite lightweight and clean looking.

The main reason I like them on the Trek is that it is my slow easy ride bike and I like using touring/myb shoes so walking isn't as diffcult as with road shoes (I use the Specialized Road comp shoes with Crank Bros Quattros on my fast bike).

Two caveats on the Frogs - ymmv, of course.
They have a wider q-factor, which sometimes strains my knees on the road bike for harder effort rides. And with the recessed cleat touring shoes (specialized Sonomas) they do indeed numb out my feet regularly. I have to unclip and let the blood flow every 10-12 miles or so.

I plan to try the Specialized MTB Comp shoes this weekend with the frogs - if it ever stops ^%#$ing raining!!!!!
