Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Pedal shoe combos....wanting to buy

I've decided while I save for a bike I could start getting the other goodies I need/want. I thought it would be a good idea to get some clipless and shoes to put on my current/old bike and get used to them. Also pick up a helmet and some clothing. Anyway, I'd like to get a MTB type shoe (recessed cleat) since if I do stop somewhere I'd rather not be trying to walk on cleats themselves. Question.....I like the idea of the speedplay pedals with the float. I kinda worry about my knees. How would I know which shoes/cleat combinations are compatible with these pedals? I'm not ready to drop 230.00 on Sidis yet either, at least I don't think so...lol.

Do a search. Specialized carbon comps are clearing out for about $70-80, and Sidi Zetas are going for about $150 on 2007 models, if you can find them.

Edit: You wont be getting recessed cleats with speedplays unless you go with the frogs.
