What pedal would you recommend for a novice?
I'd like to be able to clip in, but also be able to use them with trainers etc to nip up the shop etc.

Depends on your budget. I use these:

but these are cheaper

and these cheaper still

All fine. Some a bit lighter. The DX ones works the best IME but the cheaper ones are still okay.Facts are meaningless, you can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true! - Homer0 -
I`ve got some Shimano M324 Combination Pedals seem fine to me

424's look quite good and are light too.

I've also got the Shimano M324. One side is SPD and the other just a flat. The big problem with SPD side is it's top heavy so you need to feel or look to see where you're clipping into. You do get used to it but can be a hassle if you're in a hurry.CAAD9

If you are only ever going to do short trips with trainers then I'd consider just going for a normal spd pedal (e.g. M520s). I must have done hundreds of trips into town (couple of miles) in trainers on mine with no trouble at all. Sure it feels a bit weird but you can put up with that for ten minutes!
Edit: just seen that ride_whenever's said exactly the same thing on another thread, glad it's not just me!0 -
I love the time atac pedals for my mtb and winter bike. I used to find spds got clogged with mud - atacs never did.0
