Are these shoes good for a road bike and what peddles are best suited for a road bike

Yeah, but they are more made for the trail which I know they are great for, climbing up hills in when you get off the bike. On the road though, I feel like a road bike shoe would work better as there is no extra spiky tread that makes it harder to walk when you get off the bike on the road. They're quality though. As for pedals, look up Shimano clipless pedals and you can get a nice set for under 70 bucks. All Shimano pedals I've used are awesome.

After about 1year and 1300 miles they have been great. They are good to walk around when you are not on the bike I have shimano combo pedals spd on one side and regular on the other I think they are A530 or similar.

"Normal shoes" as in street shoes/tennis shoes/running shoes etc? No, not really a good idea, and I personally would really have to say "No." these are "clip in" style pedals that are for bike shoes with road cleats (specifically SPD-SL road cleats)... if you want to ride with "normal shoes" you really should use a pedal with toe clips such as the Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps, Black/Silver, 9/16 Inch Axle

Spd cleats. You can see or purchase them from Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Shimano-SM-SH11-Road-Pedal-Cleat/dp/B0009FTIH2/ref=sr_1_3/189-4659427-0447759?ie=UTF8&qid=1395352705&sr=8-3&keywords=shimano+spd+cleats

Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend. I STRONGLY recommend visiting a bike shop to try on shoes and find some that feel good! Otherwise, your bike rides will be short and uncomfortable. I personally LOVE these pedals, and I bought the Giro Trans Road shoes http://www.giro.com/us_en/trans-17797.html after trying on about 5 or 6 different pairs. I ride for fitness and fun (speed) and found that a road shoe with a very stiff sole and adjustable foot bed works best for me, but not everyone is the same. I ride a Trek 2.1 Triple with all Shimano 105 components. Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend.

Hello! Because they're SPD's on both sides, it's not too practical to use them without cycling shoes. A great alternative to check out is Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedal - SPD on one side, flat on the other for use with sneakers, etc. I hope this helps!

They will not work on a road bike unless it has wider tires say 700C X 28 and wider. For the mountain bike bike the tires would have to be narrow the widest there would 26" x 1.5" at the most. So some road bikes yes and some mountain bikes but not all of them. I hope this answer is helpful.

I also swapped out a pair of Kenda 26 X 2.1 Knobby Tires that came with the Mountain bike (Diamondback Response) with these. No problems.Since I'm mainly doing asphalt or hard road riding, it's good to get some street tires. You can really feel the difference.

No idea, since I haven't taken any Soul cycle class. But you can call someone that works there (reoresentative/instructor) and ask what type of cleats are compatible with their bike pedals.

Shoes are very personal. It depends on how wide ur foot is etc. U will see as some shoes have diff widths. I was new to cycling and didn't feel any shoe was comfy until I tried.the giro shoe. I bought the giro gauge shoe. Love it. Unlike pedals u need to try the shoe on b4 u buy.

I don't know for sure. It did not seem like that is what they are made for. As pedals for my city commuter bike they are the best I have ever had.

Yes they will work as in, you will be able to pedal your bike, but it will be very uncomfortable after a short while and you will have very poor grip. These pedals were designed to be used with cycling specific shoes to which you screw the metal spd cleats (hook) that are included with them.

would these tires be suitable for a mountain bike that I plan to ride only on the street?

These should use Keo cleats. Your local bike shop should have them. If you bring them the bike (or your old cleats), you can be sure to get the correct model. On line .... good luck. It's not worth the very small savings unless you live far from a shop.

Yes, the shoes work fine for indoor spinning or outdoor biking. Just make sure you buy the clips to attach to the bottom of the shoes

Yes the peddles will fit but you may need a special wrench to get the old peddles off unless they have an allen screw opening on the back of them. Also they are threaded backwards so right is loose left is tight
