I have been riding flat pedals but have purchased a used road bike (no pedals) and am considering upgrading my hybrid as well. I do a lot of recreational/fitness riding but have also started group rides and some medium length charity rides (50-100 miles). I like the idea of clipping in on long stretches of road, but don't want to lose the ability to just jump on the bike in whatever shoes I'm wearing for a short ride to the store or cruise around town with my wife and/or daughter.
I'm thinking about dual sided pedals like Shimano A530s with a recessed clip MTB shoe so that I can walk comfortably in them at rest stops or during breaks in a day of leisurely cycling in one of the many state parks in the area. While I don't mind light weight, it is a secondary concern as I'm not a competitive rider and neither of my bikes are featherweights.
Any other thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
