Ideally, they would be like the pedals on the hybrid, only clipless on both sides. Any suggestions? I will mention that I'm using a Shimano 51 cleat, and am not going to get a separate pair of shoes for each bike.
Not disabled (unless crocked knees count) but from the sounds of it just go for the biggest platform and cleat possible. Personally, I wouldn't touch shamino and crank bros. but a lot of other people think they're great.

Anyway, have a look at Time atac Z and Z XX pedals. Large platform, double sided, easy to clip into, secure, reliable and a large SPD type cleat.
