If in doubt - get dual purpose pedals. Platforms on one side and SPD on another. There is plenty of roadies riding in MTB shoes for one reason or another, mild identity crisis notwithstanding.

I like them for better control of the bike. I am ambidextrous and performing new/unfamiliar tasks with dominant hand/foot does not come natural to me, so I had to train myself to unclip with one foot and one foot only.

Good luck.
