Are there any SPD-SL pedals that are double sided? Or is it just the SPD (mountain bike clipless)? I would guess the double sided SPD pedals would be optimal, I just don't know what I am sacrificing over road pedals. Anything other than weight?


I mainly cycle for fitness and fun, but I don't have a need to walk around unless I am with my kids and would likely just be sporting some normal athletic shoes then. I just figured that road pedals were better suited for road cycling (which is what I do) vs MTB clipless pedals being better for mountain biking (which I don't do). The main reason I read people using clipless mountain bike pedals on their road bike is because mtb shoes are a lot easier to walk around in, but that wouldn't apply to me.


So I figured a standard clipless road pedal looks big enough that you could comfortably pedal without clipping in with a regular shoe for light around the neighborhood stuff.
