Polo Bikes

Hmm, maybe I misunderstood that, but I thought multi-release meant you could unclip in both directions, left and right, and that that's a good thing for polo...

Nah, single release means both left and right, cos the cleat is symmetrical. Also, there are two different types of caged pedals; some have the clip on one side and a normal flat pedal on the other, whereas most are just a double sided pedal with a resin cage to improve foot stability/protect the pedal.

I use multi release, recommend them to anyone trying out clipless. Now have pedals cranked up to max, very rarely come out unwantedly.

Plastic surround on the spd pedals gives you the feeling of a platform pedal for spds. They are still awful to ride in normal shoes as the spd part is raised. Normal spds give me a hotspot, and don't feel as stable.

I've only been using SPDs for a month now and was surprised how quick you get used to them. Multi release are good to start on for those HOLYSHIT moments when you panic so you can just pull your foot up hard to get out of the pedals and get foot down or whatever.

I got my m450 pedals for free so went for them but if I has the money I'd get the platform ones, like snoops says they feel a bit more stable which always helps.

Hmm, so i just bought single release, I hope that was the right decision.

I decided that while it might be tougher to start with, I do hop around a bit in goal, so don't want to unclip then.
