I understand that there is a learning curve with the pedals and that I should practice before I start doing anything serious with them.
What is the difference between a set of egg beaters and the "regular" clipless pedals, other than weight?
Can you use "regular" clipless pedals as platforms, ever, (let's say I got nervous)?
Thanks for the suggestions and advice so far. Really, though, I'd like the pedals' price to stay under 100$!
