That way you can always ride the platform side if you're feeling a little "iffy" on the clip side.

    I have Keo Look pedals on my bike.

    Sometimes, I want to bike to a friend's house but I don't want to walk around in my road shoes -- kinda awkward. I have a set of cheap platform pedals I can switch out, so I can wear my Keds, but that seems like it would be a pain to change it often.

    Does anyone know if there are dual-side Look pedals? If so, would it be worth the price... or am I better off just changing my pedals to my platforms when needed?

    There are, or used to be, adapters that would clip into Look pedals and provide something akin to platform pedals with toe clips. I have an old pair that you can have for free. I don't use Looks anymore. PM me if interested. Can anyone verify if modern Look pedals can use the same cleat as Look pedals from the mid-80s?
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    Traditional Look pedals and the new Keos do not use the same cleats.
