Wow, exactly the answer I was looking for. To answer your question, I use SPDs and have a cheapo 'round-town hybrid with pedals (Shimano brand, I think) that are platform on one side and SPD on the other. I haven't got much use out of the platform side. I'm planning on getting a road bike as well for my longer rides. Will the eggbeaters work for a road bike?
