Shimano PD-EH500 Pedal
What Makes the Shimano PD-EH500 a Dual-Mode Pedal?
The PD-EH500 is a dual-sided pedal that solves one of the most practical problems in urban and touring cycling: needing to clip in efficiently when riding hard, but also being able to hop off the bike in regular shoes without issue. One side of the pedal uses Shimano's standard SPD cleat engagement, which is compatible with any 2-bolt SPD cycling shoe. The other side is a wide, textured flat platform that works with regular flat-soled shoes. Both sides are functional, and the rider simply flips to whichever face suits the moment, making the EH500 the correct pedal for commuters, bike commuters, and tourers who split their time between dedicated cycling footwear and everyday shoes.
The EH500 is built around a solid aluminum body with a robust spindle that handles daily commute loads and touring miles without the wear issues that affect cheaper dual-sided pedals. The SPD engagement mechanism uses Shimano's proven single-release cleat system, which engages and releases cleanly even with mud or debris present. The flat platform side has enough grip area for casual shoes and remains stable during pedaling without requiring dedicated grip pins. At 9/16" thread pitch, it fits any standard adult crank. Cleats are not included but any standard Shimano SPD cleat set is compatible. For riders who commute in a mix of cycling and casual footwear and want a single SPD dual-platform pedal that handles both without compromise, the PD-EH500 is the correct solution.
