There are platform pedals, there are clip-less pedals and even pedals that have a platform side and a clip-less side. While these two sided pedals seem to fix the problem of offering both modes, in reality, these two sided pedals are difficult to switch between when riding. A pedal that behaves like a clip-less pedal, and can then be switched to a platform pedal on-the-fly, could prove to be a game-changing tool to mountain bikers across a range of disciplines.
