I see this written a lot. I often wonder if this is just an
assumption or based on actual experience. Because....
As a contrary opinion - based on over 10 years riding both single
sided and double sided SPD pedals, I have found that I'm quicker
getting clipped into my single sided ****mano spd pedals. I merely
flip the pedal with my toe and clip right in. Could be muscle memory
because of doing it so often, but it just is quick and automatic with
very few misses.
I can't imagine why it would be any more difficult than other single
sided road pedals.
Interestingly, while theoretically double sided pedals should be
"stomp and go" (thus eliminating the "flip"), I far more often find my
self stomping in the wrong spot on my shoe and finding it is actually
no easier getting into double sided pedals.
I'm a big fan of single sided pedals. why? I don't know, probably
some poseur points because they "look" more roady. But like I said,
they are dead easy for me to use.
