Good on you for overcoming your fears and getting on a bike, you don't need to be able to ride 100+
miles or go through the toughest MTB terrain to qualify.

I have shimano PD-M324 (SPD on 1 side platform on the other). My route to work means that I cycle
part country lanes and part in London traffic, train in the middle. Having both options is very
useful. (It has taken me some time to sort out the sole plate position so that my foot and leg are
positioned correctly when clipped in. This may be just me though.)
So I have the best of both worlds a platform for those less confident town traffic moments and SPD
for other times
