Clipless Commute?

[Catrin]

I currently have the "commuter" pedals on my LHT and I dislike them, strongly. It is the fact they are not double-sided that I don't like them - I have to look down and find the clip-in side, and my shoes won't stay on the platform side like they do my BMX pedals. Double-whammy against them

I am not, currently, replacing those pedals as of yet as my finances are shot after purchasing two bikes + gear/accessories but these are the pedals I am getting for both new bikes after a long discussion with my fitter. They are sturdy, give my feet the additional support they require, and the plastic platform-cage will be much kinder to my shins than the BMX pedals. Shimano has three other versions of this pedal with a quite large price range and quality of material.

I have Crankbrothers Mallets on my Kona and I really like them. They're equally comfortable clipped in or wearing shoes (or vffs) and because the clip-in is on both sides, I don't have to try to flip the pedals over to clip in. The downside to them is that they're kinda heavy. The CB Acids look like a much lighter, but maybe less durable, alternative.

Those are the pedals I use on my commuter. I really like them, tho' seldom do ride in regular shoes. However, when I do it is nice to have the option. I had them on my road bike also, but switched that out to the smaller spd type (which I guess are technically MTB pedals). Just don't hop on the road bike like I do the commuter, so no need for the platform option.

Hi Kimikaw! The times you have worn regular shoes with these pedals, did you have a problem with keeping them on the pedals? Just curious - though I know me and once I switch I won't wear regular shoes. I am getting the cage platform because I've had foot surgery and my feet will greatly appreciate the added support.
