That's what I heard.
And I want things to be as simple as possible.
When I return home after work I might go on a workout ride, for which I'd have the SPD shoes.

The Campus, or the Shimano M324 are too wide for my taste.
I like the size of the A520. It's like a road (e.g. SPD-SL) pedal.

I'd like to report that I did get the Shimano A520, and it's "other side" isn't flat, and it's uncomfortable to ride with running shoes.

However, I followed an advice I got here on BF, and got the Winwood Decksters, and I'd like to say that I love them!

They're a bit heavy, but I hope it means they're not fragile.
Because they're so heavy, they're always on the bottom, so I have to remember that, and flip them when I start riding.
But it's not really a problem, as I only use them for short commutes.

+1 on the M520 pedals. Plus, you can get them for cheap at probikekit.com.

eggbeaters

I found this today while browsing the site of a local shop.

They're eggbeater pedals with some type of platform clipped to one side. Seems to be for pedaling, although it could just be a reflector holder.

I've never seen one before, not for eggbeaters anyway. All my bikes have eggbeaters, though I don't really have a use for this since I never ride in anything but bike shoes - and wouldn't want to.

I went from toe cages to SPD's at Christmas. I will never go back. What a joy to get in and out of. I have a 20 mile commute to work with very little stopping. Some people complain of "hot spots" with SPD style pedals. I have'nt experienced it. Plus the float makes my feet more comfortable as compared to being locked into position with the cages.

I've been running the standard platform-&-straps that came with my Kona Jake since last summer. But I'm currently building up an MTB and gonna buy a set of clipless and shoes- will try them out on both bikes and use them for whichever suits my purposes best, or convert both bike to clipless.

AT any rate, I'll be buying some type of MTB shoe that I can walk around in reasonably- I lift weights 3x a week upon arrival at work, so I'd either need suitable bike shoes, or to keep yet another pair of shoes in my locker (alongside my work shoes.)

Im running platforms with Power Grips.
