a little advice please...

[mrbrown55]

I've recently bought my first ever road bike and I want some regular pedals for it so that I can get used to riding it with trainers on before I start to look at shoes and road bike pedals. Can anyone recommend a reliable, affordable pair (preferably yellow or black) to start me off? Ideally that I can order from chain reaction or somewhere similar.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Try these for thirty quid. Plain one side for regular shoes and SPD the other.​

If you're a fashion victim just get a rattle can.

Yeah of course but after reading varied reviews of different pedals on chain reaction I thought I would ask on here before I bought a craps pair.

Thanks. I looked at those earlier but was put off by some bad reviews.

I have a pair, the bearings are not wonderful but that's what you get with budget pedals.

Buy cheap buy twice as a wise man once said.

Pick up some cheap used flats, get used to the bike then invest in your clipless pedal of choice.

I couldn't agree more with that quote.
