    I wouldn't want to learn on the commute 'cause I make enough left turns so that even falling to the right would be rather undesirable...

    I put campus style pedals on my commuter bike too. Finding the right side sometimes takes a second or two, not a big deal.

    My reasoning in choosing campus style was less about traffic (though that was part of it) than thinking I might want to go somewhere on my lunch hour, just a quick errand, and not want to switch into my bike shoes. Turns out I so prefer to be clipped in, now that i've gotten comfortable with it, that I never skip my bike shoes. I may put double sided pedals on the commuter bike one of these days because of that.

    I also have campus style pedals on my commuter bike. I don't mind the extra two seconds it sometimes takes to find the right side to clip in. In the winter if it's around freezing point or colder I wear warm (wool!) winter boots on the bike (I have a 12 K commute) and they have no cleats. I don't want to have to swap pedals all the time. Also it's nice to be comfortable to use that bike with regular shoes to run errands, go places, etc.
