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. Originally Posted by Frankenbike77

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.

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? Originally Posted by Theycallmegio

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.
