Pedal Recommendation
My wife is just getting into road biking. I want to replace the existing clipless pedals on her bike to make it easier for her. I am looking to get recommendations for which flat/platform pedals to get for her. I don't plan on adding clips just some pedals she can use with her athletic shoes. So what would you recommend? Thanks.

I get that she is just getting into road biking but maybe something that has flats and clipless would be a good option.

These have rave reviews I am considering getting some for my wife who is also just getting into road cycling.

THEN discuss clipless or different pedals later.

ERGON pedals have a well designed contour ,
your foot centers itself because of the shape,
traction tape in the center , rather than pins on the edges..
been using mine all year round, rubber boots or any shoe works fine.
