Pedal power

I 'need' clipless pedals on my urban bike for power on my commute. But, I also need flat pedals for when I just want to grab it and pootle down to the shops..

Has anyone tried the Time ATAC 'Z' platform pedals?

i have, and the shimano equivalents, but to be honest none of them really work that well in flats. if you're looking for a pedal that's great with cleats and great without, look no further than the mighty Shimano PD-M324 and its many pretenders

Yep I have the M324's for my commute/winter bike and they do the job and look okay.

yeah they're not pretty but they genuinely do work better than the hybrid platforms Smile

Moving to Shimano would mean changing shoes/cleats as my other bikes all have Time ATAC pedals.. Not financially a good idea. Sad
