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.
