too scared to try SPDs!
my excuse is that where i ride, i am lucky to have all sorts of terrain right there
theres woodlands, very rocky (by mt standards) descents and most fun of all a disused quarry with massive piles of rocks to hoik up dragging the bike, and roll down!
i am starting to lose the pedals and my shins are paying for it, but i still need to dab down on occasion and so i thought i'd get a bit more practice in before trying them

Shinguards and some sticky soled shoes. Sorted.

genius! prefer that to the SPD idea for a bit
do they really make THAT much difference? i ride a couple of hours at a time, and as i said i seem to have so much variety in terrain that pedals suit?
i do get the point about practicing with them first, just not convinced i guess...

I've not tried SPDs yet... like you I'm a bit chicken.
But the £25 skate shoes from TK Max are brilliant compared to my old hillwalking shoes. They would slip and slide like mad when the pedals got wet. If you're pedals have decent pins in them you will notice a big difference, as the flat soled skate shoes can grip so much better on them
