One of the disadvantages to the Eggbeaters and similar pedals is that you MUST wear clipless shoes to ride on them comfortably...the advantage I have to my pedals is that one side is flat, one side is clipless so I actually have a choice whether I put on clipless shoes or not. If I was ONLY going to ride clipless then I'd probably use the Eggbeaters or some other mini-pedal. But as explained before, I vary my shoes.

While I've changed out pedals with some regularity to have toeclips or flat or clipless, it is a pain to do so and I find myself leaving the pedals on my two bikes just the way they are.
