Ha! I laugh at your so-called pedals! HA! Your puny clips and straps are no match for my M71 cleats!!!! Your feet WILL NOT RELEASE unless you slap the tab. Go ahead, try it and see.
Feel the blood boil and the panic set in as your rational brain finally realizes how powerless your legs truly are! You are falling...you can not reach the tabs...a dozen screws anchor each cleat unyieldingly to the soles of your shoes...your so-called leg muscles are useless...adrenaline will not save you...your feet WILL NOT RELEASE...the more you struggle, the faster you fall...OMG THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!!!!!
You are powerless, you puny human!
These are what real cyclists ride:

I used to commute on M71s, being young and stupid and supposedly indestructible. Then one fine morning I was just riding along, no, I was pushing hard to get to work on time, crossing the ancient, barely two-lane steel-grate bridge over the Hackensack River. Heard/felt a very large truck gaining behind me, when mid-bridge I hit an oil slick and started to fall and slide across the bridge. The truck slammed on its brakes, but no way it was stopping. My arm scraped over and around the very low guard rail, tearing off my Casio watch from my wrist, a sacrifice to the angry gods of the Hackensack. But that also kept me near the side of the bridge, and saved me.
My right foot came out of the M71, because the protruding release tab usually meant your foot would come out _after_ you hit the ground. On that side only. I managed to reach the left tab, luckily my left foot was at the top of the pedal stroke, pulled myself and the bike up, hugging the guard rail, and the truck skidded past me, barely a foot or two away.
That was one of those close calls that make you sit down for a couple of minutes afterwards and just vibrate a little bit.
I didn't stop riding the M71s, naturally, because stupid, but I didn't commute on them any more. And I rode the very narrow and glass-strewn sidewalk on that bridge for at least a month before I had the nerve to ride over the metal grates again. Oh, yeah, and I had to spend _another_ $20 on a new Casio wristwatch.
Remember wristwatches?

Ah yes, when bulletproof was a lifestyle.
Casio's were the only watch that would tolerate banging on cars all day while working on them without snagging on everything in the process.
Tough, cheap AND stylish, what more could you ask for?

Here's the next round.
Forte "minamalist" something or other
Specialized touring? these did have black anodising on the plates but it was bleached out and half gone in some places so they got stripped.
I may try to black them again somewhere down the road if I can master the DIY thing.

And more of the next round.
More Campy Record something, imagine that.
Chorus? these came from on here and despite being out of my realm thought they were cool plus they were a great deal.
They came complete with everything but I had the REG buttons and thought they would be a neat addition.

So cool, me too.
I really like to revive them, many are tough to begin with and seem to respond well to clean up and massage even when pretty bad off.
And I feel like an amateur, I don't think my oldest are even as old as your youngest.

Some great pedals here...!
have always loved the Zeus, Atom 700s which went on my gals Peugeot, older Superbes and I think the Triomphes were a real pinnacle of Campy caged pedals.

The guy I sold the 1974 Raleigh Grand Prix to did not want the pedals, so here they are waiting for a new bike....
Not much road rash, the dust cap was missing but I had a spare...

Excellent, I'll take bending over road rash any day, especially if they can be bent back.

These Sheffield pedals are so macho, I haven't found anything butch enough to put them on yet. It will have to be something industrial and gnarly. From what I have been able to find out this is the original finish.

Some very nice and exotic pedals here but I have only these lowly, pedestrian and boring everyday units. They are very nice and I'm happy with alloy pedals as long as the bearing cones and cups are good steel. These cleaned up nicely and spin smoothly after their overhaul and adjustment. Sakae Ringyo SP150 pedals with Christophe cages and home made straps (to suit the "motif" of the rest of the bike). I'll point out an invention from Atelier Prowler - to facilitate my shoes sliding into place in the cage, I fabricated those loops ahead of the cage (from nice SS spokes) which are held in place by the screws that secure the cage to the pedal. I've done this on two bikes now and they work quite well. On two other bikes I used a ramp of sheet aluminum which also worked but it was not as strong. They get pushed down by my shoe tips so I have to unbend them on occasion. These SS loops are quite strong.
Note: cheap SS (stainless steel) spokes will not bend well - they look good they break too easily with minimal bending. Good quality SS spokes can handle a sharp bend as shown above, even unbending and rebending (while working out the final design and dimensions). Granted these were salvaged off a scrap wheel, but getting the good ones is worth it.

And now for the pista, track and hacked offerings.
MKS Sylvan track, brand new, recently procured for $22 shipped
And more Campy, these were Black and the stripping was pretty hard on them, the anodizing was pretty ratty and they have been hacked so off it came.
Lastly we have these somewhat crude yet pretty much still seemingly tough, smooth, well made where it matters, spindles, bearings and races.
They have also been hacked.
Anybody heard of "Dual Sprint" also made in Italy?
