That clears things up.

The problem is that "dual sided" is ambiguous. It's used for two different pedal types.

The following uses "dual sided" for the combo type (clip on one side/platform on the other).

The following uses "dual sided" for the clips on both-sides-type (what I called "double sided").

Clips on one side only -> harder to clip in (because you have to orient the pedal).
Clips on two sides (or more) -> easier to clip in.

Some road pedals have a clip on one side and the other side can't be used (basically). There are some road pedals (eg, Speedplays) that have clips on both sides.
