Yup, I have dual platform Mtb pedals on all of my bikes except my Roubaix and my tri bike. Even have them on my Kestrel road bike with Campy Super Record. I just like the versatility and in general find mtb shoes more comfortable than road shoes. But if I just want to do a quick 2 mile ride to the grocery store or hardware store I can ride in whatever shoes/boots - as long as the laces can be secured away from the chain.
