Just FYI, I tried CrankBros pedals about 7 year ago and seem to remember the clips could be installed two ways, one of which made it easier, the other harder. In other words, you can turn the clips 180 degrees around for the change, but keep the one with the dots on the right side.

I had loads of trouble clipping in on the fly with CrankBros. Like stepping on a wet railroad track. Went back to SPD. I too wear ATB shoes with cleats to commute so I can reasonably walk around the grocery, cafe, etc. Most of my buds use CBros and have no issues - except making fun of me for not succeeding with them. With SPD I might miss one clip-in out of a thousand, and never have issue un-clipping.
