I've been a Look rider since the original white pedals came out in the '80s, with the exception of the SPDs on the mountain bike. But for Hilly Hundred I swapped pedals between the two, so I could start from a standstill on the hills and be able to just step down onto the pedal without having to worry about gettting enough momentum to spend a second or two getting clipped into the Looks. I liked it. A lot. Enough that I'm considering going with a Speedplay, SPDs or some other double-sided pedal (maybe Crank Bros?) on the road bike. So I'm finding this discussion very interesting.
