Sometimes Halfords famed service works to your advantage. I'd looked how much it would cost to fit the pedals, and the website says £4.99. The somewhat confused server said there was no charge, but he had been the same somewhat confused server who'd booked the bike in. I wasn't about to hang around and question this, and high-tailed it out of the shop. I chuckled to myself as I reattached all my gear, only half-noticing that I'd forgotten to bring the pump... I think we all know where this story is going, don't we? Karma is a bitch!
Anyhoo, as much as people (me included) might take the piss out of Halfords, I was quite happy with the price I paid for them, even if it is a bit of a palaver getting the good price: The pedals are £39.99. If you order online, you can get 20% off accessories online, you can then arrange to have them picked up in store (they take them off the shelf so you can do this on your phone outside the shop) and as a BC member I can print off a voucher and get another 10% off. Total was £28.80
As for actually going clipless, all the scare stories were unfounded. There were no topples at the lights, and I found clipping and unclipping easier than getting in-and-out of the straps.
