I love spds. Have them on all my bikes, from commuters to full-suspension mtb. They work really well and as others have said, are ubiquitous. The in- and out- gets easy really fast and I don't find it an impediment. PD-M520 is a good starting pedal - cheap and simple. The others are more e

I’ve found that real Shimano SPDs work better than the various copies. Wellgo , etc seem to have a clunkier entry and release. I started with Shimano, then spent a lot of time on Time ATACs, but now I’ve been back on SPDs for several years. Relative to the Times, SPDs have less float on paper, but

I have the EH-500 on my All Road bike. I guess I recently bought it out of habit. I used to have a pair on my ride everywhere bike (which was stolen). I liked how I could hop on and ride to the bars or out with friends, and I could still go on a longer purposeful ride. Haven't used the clip side

I've used almost all the different pedal types (I've not used Time or Crank Brothers but I have used Sampsons and WTBs and Graftons) including clips and straps and I wholeheartedly recommend Shimano SPD pedals.
