Are non-fixie-skidders finding a problem with egg-beaters releasing? I've been using a pair (stainless model) around London commuting in all weathers for 7-8 years fixed and I've only pulled out when the cleats have been really worn, but then I use my brake. Like Smallfurry I love the mechanism and the ease of use in traffic, they're a brilliant piece of industrial design.

Use Candy 2. Much better than Eggbeaters.

I think they're also great on a road bike. You can use the same shoes and walk like a normal person and not like you've got piles. If you don't race - use MTB pedals. Or Speedplays.
