I can't afford clipless, I'm broke buying the blender!) I looked at some Shimano's on a guy's bike last week - one side for the funky bike shoe, the other side if I am in my sneakers. I don't mind having to fondle the pedal with my feet to get it on the right side (as it is I do a fun little flip to get the clip right-ways up). The guy said he liked those pedals for his week-long rides, because sometimes after the main ride he'd wnat to just go a mile to a store or something, and didn't feel like walking around on the bike shoes.

(Oh, and I have a Trek hybrdid - 7500FX and a Giant Nutra Hybrid.)
This is what I have on my hybrid. If I am going out with my boys on their bikes and my daughter in her burly to ride a few miles then I use my cycling shoes. But if the guys and I are just riding to school together, (about a half mile) I wear my sneakers. I love having the option.

On my road bike I have Keo peddles and love them.
