Low-tech, effective

Well that depends on where you live, if it's a more northern climate and a more remote bike shop it's more likely they'd stock it. If you're looking for one I'd suggest somewhere like Ely, Mn.

It's low cost and effective, but I get the feeling it's really only for the elite of the elite. I mean the costs are huge. Food every day, paying handlers, insurance for the handlers...I get the feeling it's a training technique that only real pro's can afford to use consistently. :D

Can anyone recommend a good set of double platform pedals? Id love the option to still take my bike out in street shoes. Full-time spd is not ideal for me. Thanks!

"double-platform" do you mean platform on both sides (i.e. "platform")? Or do you mean 'double-sided', platform on one and spd on the other?

If the former, I will recommend again Wellgo MG-1 or MG-3, which is what I have experience with, and I like a lot. Got them for cheap (a little over $20/pair on eBay), they are nice wide platforms, pins are very grippy, and they are surprisingly light.

If the latter, I personally would stay away from most double-sided platforms, as they are bear-traps, so the 'platform' side is not 'platform' so much as blades cutting into your soles. Shimano A530 looks decent though. And I've seen a wellgo model like that too, can't find it on googlez right now.
