I was about to add my review of bebops, since I finally got some and got around to using them

they're pretty good, just be sure you buy a can of dry ptfe/teflon lube so you can lube your cleats once a week.

you have to step in decently hard otherwise you might get only half the cleat in. It's dangerous to be clipped in half way only as you can accidentally pull out. You can tell if you're only half way in by rotating your foot. If it's smooth, then you are in, if you feel some resistance you are not.
that's about the only down side I could feel with them.
Otherwise I prefer these over crank brothers, speedplay frogs and shimano SPD.

IMO, best to worst for commuting purposes
Bebop
Shimano SPD, tie, crank brothers
speedplay frogs

here they are compared to crank brothers
Canadian Toonie pictured to illustrate size. Toonie is 28mm, or 1 1/8in" in diameter
