I tried finding a pedal combination about 6 months ago like
this---any cleated pedal I tried tended to end up clipping
back in if you tried staying unclipped and pedaling like the
pedal was a flat. If you had a real flat pedal on one side,
and a clip on the other, then you still had the problem that
the cleat ruins your ability to "stick" to the pedal surface
like soft soles on flats. If there was a pedal with clip on
one side, and flat on the other, where you could have an
indentation that would keep the cleat from interfering with
the rest of the shoe's contact--allowing it to "stick" to
the platform well, then this would be awesome for some
trails with big bridge sections where riding clipped in is
not particularly comfortable ( or smart at my level of
technical ability on bridges;-).
Maybe you could build up something on the flat side that
could do this--but I've never seen it.
