On my road bikes I have Speedplay’s Frog pedal/cleat. The cleat is recessed, which is essential for me when communing (I have nearly killed myself walking on tile floors with protruding cleats). Also, the Frog has great play and holds up well. In my experience the pedals last forever. I usually replace cleats every 3-4 thousand miles (replacement cleats are about $30). Lubing the cleat and pedal helps to prolong the life of the cleat. The Frog also is self cleaning (for the most part). They are more popular among mountain bikers, but they work well on road bikes or hybrids.

I’ve been riding from Bethany to Rehoboth and back for the past twenty years or so during our annual family vacation. It’s a fantastic ride, although sometimes there is a lot of wind. The ride from Bethany to Ocean City is not as enjoyable–too many cross streets. Inland biking from Bethany and Rehoboth also is good. Lots of roads with wide shoulders and not too much traffic.
