    Take it you've got the shimano spd-sl type then? I've got the tension on mine at the lowest setting and still find them quite stiff to twist out of. Maybe its technique or maybe because they are brand new, I've only just made the switch myself.

    give it time,they will loosen up (as will you ;)

    Yeah, I've got the SPD-SL pedals. Have got used to flicking me heal out now, especially coming up to lights / etc. but again it is on the lowest setting until I get used to things.

    Am really enjoying riding. If you're interested this is a really good website to log your rides: -
