What I am looking for are opinions and preferences: what type of brand and style of pedal do you prefer? If you do use clipless pedals, what shoes would you recommend for touring? Thanks for any input!
All my pedals are like that. Not that brand, but clipless on one side and platform on the other. I think they're perfect for touring because you've got the best of both worlds there.
And I wear Lake Mtn Bike shoes which look kind of like a pair of hiking shoes. They've got cleats so I can clip in if I want, or they work just fine on the platform side too. And I always have a pair of plain ordinary sandals with me, which I've worn on the bicycle as well for short trips.
