And if you do end up on the wrong side of the pedal? Big deal. Pedal on until it's convenient to flip them.
+1 I've never had a problem with "wrong side". Aside from being able to run to the store in any shoes I like switching one foot to the platform in stop and go traffic. When traffic clears up you can switch the pedal and be clipped in without looking down.
