I have dropped my old SPD mtb shoes and pedals and gone over to Sidi shoes and Keo pedals/cleats. The new setup is a fantastic 480gms lighter than the MTB setup and the shoes are really stiff but it's DIFFICULT! I have 20 years of experience with SPDs, which are of course designed for walking and frequent unclipping. By contrast the road setup is a nightmare, starting on a hill is nigh impossible and walking is downright dangerous. I'm beginning to appreciate that you don't tackle a hill in road shoes unless you're sure you can get up it, otherwise you're faced with the humiliation of walking in your socks!
Tell me it gets easier with practice! Is there a lightweight road setup that makes walking into the cafe safer?
