[DVBC] easiest MTB pedals?

[eric zwicky]

what i meant was the opposite...     have you ever ridden the speedplays 
while wearing regular tennis shoes?     being a teenager, he likes to 
jump on his bike at the spur of the moment, and he's usually wearing 
some kind of running shoe or skateboard shoe.

.

thanks,
