I also have a set of platforms for when I go bar hopping. I leave them right next to the bike with a 15mm wrench so I can swap them. I like to wear street sandles to the bar.
ha! i thought i was the only one that did that! for bars and parties especially, nothing worse than being easy fodder for jokes about "funny bike shoes" all night long... make sure you keep your threads nice and greased if you are changing the pedals so much.
right now i'm running time impact s pedals with sidi genius 4's for when i'm commuting/training and MKS GR-9 platforms for when i'm in the sneaker mood. however, i dont really feel nearly as comfortable when using clips and straps as i do when i'm nice and clipped in. i think it adds to the whole experience to be so connected to my bike...
