Hi, thanks for writing back! Those look like 2 sided pedals from a quick search.

I haven't had any problems clipping in and out at stop signs and stops with 2 sided pedals, no matter how frequent the stops were (within reason, but even if they're every block) once I became accustomed to them. As I mentioned, I can clip in without even looking down so it's not a big deal. That's not to say that it isn't the right choice for you - you should do whatever you find the most enjoyable. :-) I prefer to stick with clipless for my commute because I can be a speed demon when I want, and I like that I'm building up the same muscles in casual riding that I'm using for when I'm really trying to go fast. :-) But if flat pedals is more enjoyable - you should by all means stick with them. :-) Any possible slight decrease in speed is definitely made up for if you enjoy the ride more. :-)

Now if you were insisting on saving $20 by using non-flat-resistant tires versus flat-resistant ones, now there's something we could heatedly argue and exchange insults about, hahaha.
