Float is a killer for my knees so that rules out a lot of pedals (and means the various float schemes mean nothing to me). From an anatomical/ergo standpoint, traditional toeclips, straps and slotted cleats are as good as it gets for me. 3 of my 5 vikes have them. One has LOOK copy (Forte) pedals with the black cleats. And on my gravel bike, I compromise with MTB SPDs with the tension cranked up to the toughest setting I can get into. (I ride that bike the least, so it works.)
Problem - I sometimes get out to the driveway and realize I have the wrong shoes on and have to go back and swap shoes or bikes.
Edit: I could go with Speedplay Zeros but that seems like an awfully expensive way to get to the same place. (And the toestrap bikes are not going to change because they are fix gear and on fast descents, toestraps are the most secure setup there is.)

The Lyotard single-side platforms it came with waaaaaay back in '84. They were fine then, they're fine today.

I decided to get some new road pedals for my road shoes. Getting tired of the SPD shoes squeaking, I've tried every fix. I have VP SPD pedals and the brand has impressed me so I got some R76's on ebay for $30. 232g/pair. Anyone else have them? I may get a pair of aluminum silver ones for my vintage bikes.
