A great lesson in the triumph of marketing over design.

They are the simplest pedal I've ever used. i wouldn't let all the stuff you are reading here keep you away. I'm all about no maintenance and longevity and the Speedplay are just that. I've never had the mud issues that same say to avoid, but I've never seen the need to walk around in dirt. it's a road bike not a mtb!
I had never really looked in to the bebops until reading this thread and they look great. The metal cleat will still be an issue when walking around although they look lower than the speedplays so perhaps would not be as awkward. the platform would be my concern. It's hard to tell in the pictures, but it does not look very large.
