I'm thinking of just putting double-sided "mountain" type SPD pedals on both
bikes. They appeal because they're cheap and fit the requirements of only
needing one pair of shoes. Shimano's entry level M520 look OK, and the more
expensive models seems just to offer weight reduction, which I'm not all
that bothered about. Plus the double-sided thing sounds like a good idea
for the road as well as off it for getting in and out quickly at traffic
lights.

The M520 are all you need. The best buy in SPD pedals IMO.

Will they cause any problems on the road bike?

No

Really, I can't really see
there being all that much difference in the performance of pedals for
road/mountain use.

Bingo. They are only on the heavy side if you include the shoes. If
weight isn't an issue for you and you want walkable shoes ....

I mostly do fairly fast riding at weekends, and some
light touring.

The only alternative I can find of road/mountain pedals that use the same
cleats is the Crank Bros ones. The egg beaters look very... interesting.
Maybe I'll try some one day.

They are way overpriced and off no real extra's compared to the M520.
