This is good information thanks. I like the Ritcheys, but the unclipping does hang up a little at times, which is irritating.

I I recall seeing a strap that went from back to front in an angle that looked interesting. I don't know the name of it, though.

kind of like the ones in the huge picture above your post?

!! That's crazy. I'd take it as a sign.

3 tandems, 2 singles, all with PowerGrips. Two folders and the Road Racer still to get theirs. I should buy stock.

Those considering going clipless might want to consider CrankBrothers pedals. I use them for my MTB and commuter and find them much better than SPD http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=470555

My wife and I have been riding regular Eggbeaters for years and just love them...

Why so?

BTW, the Giro shoes in your images (Republic?) are very versatile for mild walking, as well as being a comfortable shoe for urban cycling. I use them with Ritchey SPD-like cleats.

Regular Eggbeaters have no wrong side; you can clip in without having to flip or orient the pedal at all.

I wear Shimano spinning shoes with mine, the most comfy cycling shoes I have ever experienced...
