+1. Actually, plus 5 as I have them on all five of my bikes. Road, cyclocross, mountain and tandem road. There are lighter pedals, but these are super easy to get in/out of, work when they're packed with mud and last forever. I use the mountain bike shoes on all the bikes, added weight and all. The additional weight is negated by having a real surface on the shoe to walk on for most of my use environments. If I got into all-out road racing, I'd probably go ahead and buy speedplays and light cycling shoes for that bike.
The ATAC's also let your cleat release by moving your foot toward the center, not just away from the center (twist to the inside or outside to release). Not all pedals release like in that fashion. This makes them really sweet for new users or urban settings. Or when you're off-road and you very quickly need to "vacate" the bike - if ya know what I mean!
