    Riding a treated main road in winter is a little different from negotiating a frost covered cafe forecourt with a tray of teas in hand. I don’t see how you can equate one with the other. Winter riding can be immensely fun and rewarding – and can set me up for the season – providing I take sensible precautions of course. My comment is based on experience with Keo Cleats. Maybe I’ll look on ebay for those covers though….

    🙂 I’ve no choice. It’s either a 20min cycle or a 2 and a half hour walk for me due to the lack of public transport. So I’ll be cycling through the elements like I have done before. 😀

    I carry them. I barely use them but if I do any walking at all I put them on. I bought them after getting fed up of going through so many look keo cleats. You only have to scuff them on rough ground and it can take a chunk off them. I got mine on ebay, only a few quid. They are light and fit into back jersey pocket or saddle bag.

    Like any cleats they do take
    Like any cleats they do take some getting used to. I have found them easy once used to them, unlike the shimano cleats I had when I first started cycling. Came off and split elbow open with those. I agree with Oranj they do wear quite quickly particularly if you do ANY walking in them (cleat covers are good if you do). Overall I have found they engage and disengage easily once familiar with them.

    Yep, they can be less than positive, esp. once the “grip” starts to wear (which, being soft material, is too soon!). If you can find any of the old, non-non-slip cleats, they are IMHO much better in this respect.
