Bought some Shimano PD-EH500. I wanted them for commuting short distance so I’d have an option for clipless or flat pedals. So far, so good.

Who won the duel?
Bought those same pedals over 7 years ago and they are still going strong! Cleaned and regreased once 2 years ago. It’s great that I can clip on for my planned rides and races, but if my kids are playing and want to go for a bike ride, I don’t have to go change shoes first.
Fantastic choice!
I’ve installed them on my bike as my first set of clipless pedals. It might be my non-cycling shoes but I found that I needed to install pins as the flat side was way to slippery. I only installed them in the corners and that solved the issue.
I have dual sided pedals and love them!
Nice. I always recommend double-sided SPDs. I got similar Btwin pedals from Decathlon a good few years ago, still going strong at half the price. Perfect for me as I can commute in regular shoes or go for a proper ride in my giros.
I have the same pedals on two different bikes. I love them.
Not a huge deal but you should generally clamp your bike by the seatpost, not the top tube.
Please clamp your bike in the stand by the seat post so you don’t damage the frame. Cringing right now.
I learned a hard lesson clamping a tube rather than the seatpost on a beautiful old classic steel Lemond.
Judging by the holes in your blinds, you might want to move that target…
Do they like duel each other to see which one stays up?
Everyone getting downvoted for being right and telling you not to destroy your frame and clamp it on the seat post, but I will join them anyway. Don’t clamp to your frame, clamp to your seat post.
I tried these every day for two years but I always got super annoyed by hitting the wrong side depending on my shoes and then constantly kicking at them to get the correct side. I’ve settled on multiple bikes with different pedals but I understand if that’s not an option for whatever reason.
