Shimano PD-EH500 SPD pedals are hybrid pedals that are designed for use with both clipless cycling shoes and regular street shoes. The PD-EH500 pedals feature a flat platform on one side and a clipless mechanism on the other, providing riders with the flexibility to switch between using clipless shoes for efficient cycling and regular shoes for more casual riding.
