I've been commuting with LOOK style pedals for the last several months, and now I've been thinking about saving those for longer rides and just putting in toeclips. Then it occurred to me that I could just commute with completely flat.
Are there any hills or any places you always sprint during your commute? If you are seated throughout all or most of your ride then you may as well use platforms.
I use road shoes and road pedals and when I stand on the pedals, the bike accelerates. I like. If I didn't sprint so much, though, I would probably just stick to some stiff touring cycling shoes- without cleats installed- and use platform pedals.
