The only time I have spent on the road forum this year was a few recent discussions of the Tour de Georgia.
Did you see the smiley? Did you even read the rest of my post? I'm not trying to argue at all. I completely agree with your choice of MTB pedals for the kind of riding you described. I said that I do the same thing sometimes.
I am only trying to provide a counterpoint to what I see as a prevalent opinion on this forum that road pedals are only for racers and serious go-fast riders and the accompanying idea that even short walks at rest stops and convenience stores are too difficult and treacherous in shoes with road cleats. It simply ain't so. There's no need to scare people away from what can be a good choice for many situations.
