Getting clipped into these pedals is a chore. After every intersection, I'm always trying to flip the pedal to the correct orientation to clip in--these aren't weighted reliably enough to do that on their own. It's difficult to get lined up without looking down, and I often think I'm aligned, only to have my foot slip out when I apply pressure. (Isn't that the sort of thing clipless pedals are supposed to prevent?) Not only that, but these are difficult to get out of as well, even at the lowest tension setting. Also, it took an inordinate amount of fiddling to get the cleats aligned so both feet feel the same and so as not to hurt my knees. These pedals are just a huge hassle all around. I can't decide whether to try more expensive pedals, or just to go back to platforms...
