They're the Mullet of pedals: "All Business up front and all party in the back!"
Seriously, they are a great way to start into using clipless pedals. I have a different pair that I have on my multipurpose bike, so I can just jump on without worrying about the shoes I'm wearing and go to the store. On my bikes that are more race oriented, I use a pedal that's faster to clip into, but still SPD. The Shimano A520s are a great road oriented pedal that looks nice with my Cannondale SR300. Double-sided pedals such as the M770 are nice for clipping in fast when needed such as a race situation. They worked well for my CX bike.
