I’ve been riding mostly flats for the last year. It’s hard to reprogram myself from the previous 30.
Once I got accustomed to it, I noticed my overall pace/times were just as fast. And my uphill techie climbing is actually better.
I still ride clipped in on my road bikes and gravel bike, and occasionally will switch to SPD for long distances where the uniform pedaling circles is less fatiguing.
Hybrid pedals seem like they’d be ok for a spin bike or maybe a grocery getter. Not much else.
