Anyway, when you turn, you want your pedals at 6 and 12 o'clock, for the reason you mentioned.
No matter what kind you use, having the pedal hit in a turn could be bad.
Correct but I can recommend Rock Bros as a maker of some nice platform pedals. I sent my son in NYC a steel single speed and put a nice pair of these pedals with the bike for his comfort and safety riding in the city. The bike had some campy steel pedals with leather Brooks straps but these take experience and still not a good city choice.
