+1 for #12

I use a combo pedal on my commuter bike like [MENTION=109583]steely_Dan[/MENTION] , I ride with SPD mountain bike shoes to commute. I leave the suburbs and head downtown. Combo pedals work for me. I like them also because I can also ride with my 9 yo son around the neighborhood and don't need special shoes.

if i was wearing regular clothes vs cycling clothing I would probably not wear spd mtb shoes as well. I have worn them to bike social events and felt weird because i had on cycling clothes instead of regular clothes. I have baggy mtn bike shorts I could wear but sometimes just slip shorts over the lycra after i get there. I live too far out of the downtown to not be kitted up. I would be a sweaty mess wearing regular clothes.
