Good to see another University of North Dakota grad on a bike!

Note to self, don't practice unclipping on my way TO the bike trail.

He's actually an Aussie. And quite modest.

Check out the Performance Bike brand Forte pedals. They are very inexpensive and I have had no problems with them. They aren't as nice as the Look pedals but you can buy several pairs of Forte pedals for the price of just one set of Look pedals. For shoes go to your LBS and see if they have any 2011 models. I got the Forte pedals and a pair of Shimano shoes for under $100.

I had been looking on SlickBikes website and been finding some fairly good prices there. But I'll definitely check out performance bike too, I've ordered a couple things from them and have been pretty happy with them!

On a n00b related note. And this may be a dumb question but I'm assuming the cleats come with the pedals?

Forte Carve are double sided MTB pedals from Performance. I paid something like $85 for the pedals and shoes at the store. Definitely worth the investment.

Yes cleats come with pedals. I have seen recently SlickBikes has had some really good deals on shoes.

I will throw my 2 cents in here and say again it depends on what [U]type[U] of riding you will be doing. As a commuter I prefer the Forte Campus pedals
Forté Campus Pedals
You will find that most performance road bikers, the go fast road burners, use a Look type of pedal
Look Cycle - Pedals - Road
For mountain biking take a look at the Crank Bros. Egg Beaters
++ eggbeater, mallet, candy, 5050 pedals :: crankbrothers.com ++
Although currently for commuting I use something very differant which is a Power Strap pedal
Power Grips Sport Pedal Kit at REI.com
It all depends on the type of biking you will be doing. Hope I helped more than I confused.

My local bike shop is a Performance Bike. Some of the people that work there are now really close friends
