comment Why is a proper road bike pedal preferred for road bikes?
With SPDs its the cleat that's significant (although there are now road specific pedal/cleat setups which are different to my originalish spuds)

erm, no - I could use a road shoe on the MTB pedals on my bikes and similarly I could use off-road shoes on the road variations of the same (SPD) pedals.

comment What is the easiest way to fix a loose chain?
To amplify the frist part a bit, if it was once fine and is now slack/loose then replace it - there's no reason why it has to be a particularly expensive for a upright (slightly different for the 2.something chains needed for my recumbents) and its an easy job to do - even more so with contemporary chains with clever links. When doing the replacement compare the old and the new and you'll see how wear has caused it to "stretch". In theory you're supposed to replace other stuff too... but that does get expensive.
