Every so often I pull out the 3-speed with flat pedals, and I make a nuisance of myself at the first couple of stops because I can no longer just pull up my right foot to get the pedal in position to get going again. I have to hook my foot underneath a pedal to lift it up, and then move that foot back around on top to start. Not a big deal to regular flats riders, but super-annoying when you don't have the muscle memory for it, and time is of the essence when riding in traffic.
