But not if I have to flip the pedal over at every intersection like I used to have to do when I had pedals with clips and straps. I love being able to just stomp down and go.
After the A530s have broken in enough to spin freely they come to rest mostly vertical with the clipless mechanism facing the back.
So when I want to clip in, I push the top of the pedal to rotate it forward and then bring the rest of my foot down to clip in. It took a little while but now I can clip in easily without having to look down at the pedal.
So to answer your question, neither side is really up when the pedal is at rest.
