Like the other poster wrote, it doesn't really stick out that much further than the folding pedals. Unless the space is a massive deal, you're better off with non-folding pedals.
I don't want to run a SPD pedal - I'm moving away from bike specific shoes/pedals on everything, but my performance bikes. Ultimately the convenience of riding in everyday shoes is far more useful than the benefits of being clipped in and having to wear bike shoes.
