Does anyone here have any experience with a pedal like the A530?
I had the m324's (clipless/platform) on my fixed gear and I pretty quickly got used to finding the right side. However it was never the plan to ride with regular shoes. Just thought itd be useful in the stop/go of NYC commuting (no need to always clip in if I'm only going a block). It was, but I replaced them with 520s which I've come to prefer.
