Yeah, I was surprised hearing of someone riding flat pedals with SPD shoes. Yikes. Asking how to handle drops with that combo is like asking how to get to Vegas on a skateboard (sorry, first analogy that came to mind). Correct answer: get ride of skateboard and replace with a motor vehicle designed for highway travel. Then address your situation.
