I haven't had any of the issues that generally keep people from trying them, just now that I have given them a go, haven't fallen in love with them the way others have. I can see instances where they are nice, on my racier bikes, but at the same time really have no intentions of equipping all my bikes with them. Especially the touring/after work bikes, I think they are remaining platforms or dual-sided.

That said, I did just buy up a few sets of SPD that were marked down to $10 at Performance, as a few bikes are in desperate need of some sort of pedal upgrade, so a few of my bikes will be getting them.
