I use platform pedals...Not too much wear on brakes, I typically only stop 2-3 times on a 3-4 hour recreational ride...Commuting in the city involves a lot more stopping than a recreational ride out in a rural area...I just prefer to stop and relax when taking a drink, I am not in a rush to get anywhere and I am not racing against anybody.
