Right. I think there are two general trains of thought in this thread... most people would agree that one-sided pedals are no big deal once you have some experience and confidence in them. However, my posts thus far have been in response to the OP, who expressed a concern about being stuck in his pedals at intersections, and I think that kind of thing is *more* likely when a person has to deal with two ways to interface with the pedals than just one. For those of us who have been riding a while and are comfortable with any kind of pedal system, that concern can be a little harder to appreciate.
