I wouldn't say so.
I use the same pedals (double sided spds) on most of my bikes, even the road ones as it simplifies my shoe choice.
I do have a set of Looks and matching shoes for my roadie, but I find it such a pain in traffic to "look" down to engage properly. That would improve if I used them more, but I don't notice the difference anyway as I use very stiff (Specialised MTB Comp) MTB shoes, which are much easier to walk in, with the spds.
