I've actually done that too and it felt ok. It wasn't wet outside though, and the leg extension felt a little too much since I was effectively sitting a few mm higher on the bike.

I had problems bunny hopping on wellgo spd style pedals when I'd unclip on one foot for one reason, but i got shimano spd pedals and don't know if those will be different.

I was basically wondering if the larger platform of the candy's would lend them to being better at riding around with regular shoes. I could do it on spd sl's ok, so I might just go with them for the trek to have the same pedals on my road shoes.
