 s> Yes they are compatable, they are a different shape but work well.
One of the things I'm probably going to be able to get before I'd expected to 
be able to get 'em - is clipless pedals and shoes. 
Main question: how much of a performance & efficiency difference is there 
when you get a set of shoes/pedals?  I'm wondering about the upstroke side of 
things, since the knee joint isn't really designed for much upward pulling... 
what change in muscle use is there? Is it vast? Ie: if I get 'em now, am I 
suddenly going to turn into a sack of hammers on the first decent bike ride?
Also - is there much difference between the kinds of pedals and clips? And - 
since I have your attention with all sorts of newbie questions flowing 
through my mind, what's the safest approach to getting a set?
