I looked up the Shimano PD-A530 dual platforms, but I didn't like the idea of it in the end.

Eventually, I settled on Bikedabs take on it... an adaptor piece to plug into your existing clipless pedals. Just change to regular shoes and snap on the adaptor for shorter rides... snap off the adaptor and throw on the road shoes for the other.

Works for me. After having taken the shoes out on it's first 40 mile ride last weekend, and comparing it with my commute today, I can only say... I can't wait for the weekend to roll around again.
