Shimano R550 SPD-SL Road Pedals

If you have a long distance to cover over open roads, you might want to think about going for full-on road cycling pedals. These take a different style of cleat to the majority of the other pedals mentioned here,  which attaches to the shoes with three bolts.

Although these are harder to release out of (read our article on How to Master Clipping In for some tips on getting the hang of this) they do have the advantage if you have a long ride, or not too many traffic lights or junctions, that you can use road cycling shoes with stiff soles.
