Thats great. I was getting a bit confused by the different types, and then saw there were cleats as well which just totally blew my small brain!

Cleats will come with the pedals and not the shoes. If possible try a few some people get on better with one system than the other.

I've got these due to my muppetry with clipping / unclipping: chainreactioncycles.com

one side = spd for bike shoes, one side = a normal pedal. My cleats are kind of recessed in the bike shoes I have so when I was less confident about clipping in / out I rode with one foot clipped in and one foot not to be able to easily put my foot down on the floor.

to be honest once you get used to them you'll find it hard to ride flat pedals again.

It's true. Now I'm used to it I feel a lot safer with both feet clipped in! :)

Ok so if i wanted say tri shoes rather than full on bike shoes I just choose the said tri shoes and find some pedals and cleats and the cleats will fit to my shoes regardless of what make they are?

If anyone is wanting to get into the clipless pedals, these seem to be as good a price as you will get currently.

If that link doesn't open go to the PlanetX website for the offers on shimano pedals.

Just into cycling too and have been confuzzled about this too. Cannot afford to get new pedals, cleat, shoes at the moment but eventually I'm sure I'll want to. How does this all work if you are doing a tri? Do you have to change into running shoes? My head hurts :)
