Yeah, I'm trying to make sure this bike doesn't give me excuses NOT to jump on it to go run an errand. In my roadie life, I "have" to get suited up and put on ridiculous unwalkable shoes. Even though I know there are highly walkable SPD-based shoes out there and I could put pedals for that on my LHT, part of me doesn't want this bike to demand special shoes, cleats, etc. I'd end up with yet another special ($$) set of footwear that isn't what I'd ordinarily be wearing at my destination. This bike is going to be for the anti-roadie in me.
That said, I'd consider the pedals with an *option* for clipping in on one side!
