Yeah, after rethinking what you said about the gravity issue, the toe cages are no answer anyhow. I have Speedplay Light Action Chrome-Moly Blacks. Let me tell ya what it says on the back of the box...it's what sold me.

Combines the most user-friendly characteristics found in Speedplay's popular X and Zero road pedals into an advanced hybrid-pedal technology desighned specifically for the recreational cyclist.

Dubbed "Light Action" for its unique low-force, high-security latch mechanism, the system provides the easiest, most intuitive entry and release functions ever offered in a clipless pedal system.

Blends the legendary ease-of-entry and luxurious non-centering free-float of Speedplay's X Pedal System together with the robust spring design and enhanced durability of Speedplay's Zero Pedal System.

The same cutting-edge performance benefits that have made Speedplay Pedal Systems famous, including:

Dual-sided pedal means no flipping, no fumbling, no looking down to engage.

Self-locating cleat guides the entry motion and makes finding the pedal easier.

15 degrees of non-centering free-float increases comfort by reducing stress on the knees.

Large, stable cleat platform for optimal power transmission and all-day comfort.

True-locking engagement mechanism provides security and prevents inadvertenet release.

Precision cartridge and needle bearings for reduced friction and longer life.

Built-in grease-port for fast and easy bearing maintenance.

I love them!

MMmmmm.... Lollipop (pedal) baby, here I come... I get hot for a pedal that can use the word "luxurious" in the description :)... If I go with the chrome-molys, I can get yellow pedals to match the bike.

I'm gonna head up to REI in a while; they have road shoes on sale.

Better to match the bike. :)

There's nothing more hot than a coordinated cyclist...I have a penchant for icy blue and silver.

Hard to look all manly in the full spandex kit with pretty pink pedals. Other than that, they're golden.

I just looked at performance bike and they carry them in black & pink. Might end up going with the black if I can't find yellow.

Thanks TX, I will give them a ring.

And, for after I'm no longer quite so large -

I think the irony is a little too much for now...

RBM and Plano Cycling only have black.

Bicycles Inc does have one pair, and they're going to hold them for me! I'll swing by there tomorrow afternoon to pick them up.

Thanks Stephanie!!

I love fun jerseys. I'm so glad that I'm getting small enough to wear them now.

This is also on the list -

Reminds me of when I was a kid, I'd ride to the 7-11 on Pipeline and Hurstview and get a moon pie and an RC.

At the end of the day, I bet I end up spending more on jerseys than bikes :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
