I have clipless pedals that can be used on both sides and when I asked the vendor if it was uncomfortable using them with normal shoes, he told me “mostly not” but he also showed me an add-on to the pedals which make one of the side look like a normal flat pedal. So for urban riding, when you don’t always want to have 2 pairs of shoes, it’s quite useful.

Good point Dan, Thanks for the pun

I actually keep a spare pair of shoes at work, just for when my feet get soaked in a downpour.

I think your advice for commuters depends on the nature of the commute. In the roads near my home there are junctions every 100m or so, so my left foot tends to never get in the clip. But if I’m on the ring road, or heading between the local villages, the straights are much more substantial, and I tend to cruise around 20mph, so I found that toe clips are a great help. I have never used clipless pedals, and the main thing that stops me upgrading is the need to carry a second pair of shoes around everywhere. If you could get smart, black, leather shoes with cleats in the sole I’d be sold (if you’ll excuse the pun).
