Look PP396. An outstanding pair of pro-quality road pedals that can be had
for less than $100 at several stores. They work fabulously well, are
reasonable light, have a large platform, and are easy to get into and out
of. Plus, they have adjustable float and adjustable release tension.
Unless you are looking for a touring type of shoe, Look's are your best bet
for 'pure' road riding. I use them everyday, and having tried many
different types/brands of pedals, I always come back to Look's on my road
bikes. (I use Crank Bro's 'Mallets' on my MTB.)
Stay away from SPD and other similar 'small cleat' setups (like Crank Bros,
Wellgo, Ritchey, etc.) unless you are specifically going with a touring type
of setup and must have something reasonably walkable.
IMHO, of course.
