Anyone use clipless pedals with a platform surround? I want to use
regular
shoes for quick rides around the neighbourhood. Any suggestions?

I use Shimano 545....the engagement part of the pedal is higher than the
outside cage. It is uncomfortable when wearing non-biking shoes.


It takes all of about 2 minutes and a pedal wrench to switch from the SPD's
to a pair of cheap Kmart flat pedals ( about $9.00 a pair).
Or, buy a junker bike ( $ 60) with flat pedals for riding around town, etc,
and if someone steals it, you won't care so much.
