Actually, I think that would probably be a pretty good choice.

Of course, these are the same style and brand of pedal that Lance himself
uses. Can't really come up with a better recommendation than that.

(Tyler uses Speedplay's I believe. I'm not sure what Iban and Jan use. I
will look now and see what I can find out.)

I got the rubber covers for the Look cleats and keep them in my back pocket.
That eliminates the slipperiness while walking and keeps the edges of the
cleats sharp. If I get a squeak, I take a small knife and scrape the edges
of the cleats until they are nice and clean and sharp again. I have had
SPD, Eggbeater and Look and I prefer Look--- far and away the best.
