Which pedals: nylon or metal?

I'm sure. At the moment though I'm shie-ing away from the whole
clipless thing... being able to jump on the bike with any shoes I
happen to have on is a plus; having to put on a particular pair of
shoes just to get on the bike is a bit much for me at this point.
After my crash I can see the safety benefit of clipless (had I been
strapped in, I would have tumbled with the bike and god only knows how
beat-up I would have been) but that still doesn't sell it to me.
Can't go to church in cleated shoes, after all.
FYI, Shimano makes a double-sided pedal, with a standard platform on one
side, and SPD-compatible mechanism on the other side. You can also get
(from Nashbar, etc) a gizmo which clips into your spd pedals and gives
you a standard platform to use with regular shoes.
