I'll probably keep the regular road pedals on the roadie for the foreseeable future, as it's a bike that I clip in once and don't get off the bike until I'm back at home. Plus I've still got a pair of road shoes and cleats with lots of life left in them, and using one of those 3 bolt -> 2 bolt cleat adapters doesn't really give me any advantage over what I've got now.
I ride only platforms, and have even given up toeclips(old man). Lately though, I find myself behaving as if I'm clipped in, on tight turns and turn-arounds. The last time I was clipped in was in the second half of the 90s.
