Period. Unless you want to destroy shoe bottoms. OK, maybe spend a year trying to learn to climb with speed or spin at 90rpm with flat pedals.
Thanks for letting us know that flat pedals are inferior....I will continue to use my flat pedals for pavement riding.....and I assure you that I never had a problem spinning or climbing hills with my platform pedals. I learned how to spin and have a smooth pedal stroke by riding fixed gear and not by using clipless pedals.
