i guess that makes you and me different then.
my feet must have tiny brains in them that just "know" which side of the pedal they want to be on for the SPD cleat receiver or for the platform. i think over the years my feet have just learned what they need to do because the pedals are weighted to always hang the same direction when foot pressure is released.
