I have recently purchased a new Trek 520 Touring Bike and have ridden over 250 miles in the first month (that is a lot for me) unfortunately it has the dreaded SPD clips on it, and I am struggling getting in and getting out of these things. I have fallen a few times, but luckily no injuries. I am looking to go with either Looks or Speedplays, but I don't know which is better. I have one friend that advocates Looks and one guy that loves his Speedplays. Which way should I go? Which pedals are the easiest in and out? Which ones take a beating? Which ones will I say "These are much better!" once I get used to them. I don't think I am going to get used to the SPDs.
