Now have a brand new set of Look Keo pedals, good excuse for new gear I suppose.

I have been a bit slack recently on the bike, mainly due to work and other time constraints. Although I am also swimming a couple of times a week and have started running again as well. I should be able to get out on the bike tomorrow, can't wait.
I changed from SPD's to Look Keo's as well. Do you find them harder to clip in quickly??

I find the actual cleat takes a bit more force, but also the way the pedal falls doesn't seem to fall as nicely as the SPD.
