I also run Crank Bros pedals on everything. My team has a grassroots sponsorship with them, but I was using them for years prior to that. My long road loop has a couple of pedestrian bridge crossings that require walking and the Speedplay cleats got to me. Plus, I seem to be the only person in the world that hated the engagement. Egg Beaters and Candy's are much easier.

I almost forgot the other issue I had with clipless: the shoes. My feet are wide (like 4E wide) and I never did find clipless compatible shoes that fit correctly.
Try the any of the shimano shoes with the performance tour last (It is a 3E).

I normally wear a 4E also and had the same problem. I ended up with the SH-CT40 (the new model is the SH-CT41) in one size bigger than my normal shoes but they have worked well for me even on 50 mile rides. The CT70/CT80 shoes did not have enough give where I needed it.

Thanks, I'll try 'em out!

Definitely get clipless pedals. I love mine, and run either these or the double-sided SPD pedals on everything.
