I've never used cleated bike shoes, and the other day a guy at the bike shop told me how great they were. I guess I'm still a little uncertain about plunking down bucks just to try something that might not work out. As I see it, the two basic questions are, 1) How much do they help your pedalling effort? 2) How awkward are they when stopping? (traffic lights, stop signs, etc.) Will they take a lot of getting used to? Any experiences and recommendations are welcome!
