That said, I can understand where you're coming from as far as 'sole transport'. If I were riding anywhere other than work/home, i'd probably keep regular pedals on at least one of my bikes for those rides.
This is not a dig on you directly, but I find it humorous that people on this forum (commuting), don't understand that a pair of reasonable shoes is required when a bike is sole transport.
Some of the previously posted clipless shoes are woefully inadequate (and that's being nice).
My colleagues that ride clipless with cycle clothing usually hit the bathroom at the restaurant and do a quick change and they can usually get in. Also, the uni is the big employer in the area, so faculty get special treatment, which I don't really like.
