Complete Nonsense
last week end we were out in allamuchy south (deer park section)
much to my chagrin during the 2-3 hour ride i did not get my shimamo spd cleats clipped into the pedal at all
maybe that's a good thing
i was wearing standard shimano, lace up shoes, with shimano pedals that have "cheater padding". rubber around the medal that allows you to cycle with regular sneakers
i dunno if this worstened the snow getting stuck in the shoe, or made it harder to get the shoe in the cleat
another seasoned mtb had a different mtb system, the other cyclists looked liked they were okay w/clipping in the shoes in the beggining of the ride but towards the end the might have commented at the malfunction

- two quick fixes are to put pedals w/o extra padding on the mtb for snow use
- use sneakiers on the padded pedals
