Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm not worried about the ridicule of using SPD pedals on a road bike when I end up buying one down the road.

Went with the simple M520 pedal and the 2019 Shimano XC7 which was on sale at my LBS. Stiffer than the cheap road shoes I was looking at, no 3 bolt, but again, if that's where I end up I'll slap the 520s back on my hybrid and just have a pair of shoes for each bike.

Thanks for everyone's help regarding pedals.

P.S. already fell, so I got that out of my system (until the next time!).
Did you ride a 60cm and 62cm Domane?

I did not. This was just for shoes. If I end up with free time one day maybe I'll give it a go. They have their next swap in May, so I'll mark that on my calendar, too, as another way to maybe find a used bike.
