I can do that with the pegged platform pedals, as long as I'm wearing a shoe with at least 1/4" of soft sole material for the pegs to dig into. My cadence is quite high, as I'm an ex-trackie who used to train for at least 100 rpm in 3000m individual pursuit. The only thing I can't do with them is use my hip aductors to pull the pedal up over the top of the stroke, but there isn't much call for that in a grocery run or my 4k commute. If I want to do a ride where that's a necessity - i.e., a long highway ride - I'll ride my road bike with the Look Keo pedals.
