1. have nice SPDs that clip in I'll use a lot
2. be able to ride it to the store without putting on special shoes if I want to
Shimano 540? 530? 520? M324? Help me!
EDIT: I have shoes with recessed spd cleats I can walk in that I'd like to keep using, if that matters.
I have the A530s and are pretty happy with them. The "platform" side is not the grippiest so it would be a good idea to make sure you have your SPD shoes if it's going to rain.
They have a little bit more of a roadie look to them than some of the other platform/SPD combo pedals you see.
