Clipless pedals poll.

[Davidc]

I've put flats, have them on the round-town mtb, but ride more miles on the tourer using toe clips.

Tried click pedals (clipless) and have a permanent knee injury as a result.

Clipless, only SPD though and using recessed cleats on mountain bike type shoes. Two different bikes both with different pedals too. Gez

Can I just mention - that the correct nomenclature is 'clip-in' pedals, not 'clipless'.

I would be grateful if you'd all try to get into the habit....

Thanks. As you were.

Clipless on the hybrid.

You can get a fairly good gauge of how long a rider has been involved in the sport by their comfort – or, indeed understanding of – the term, which upon contemplation is quite conflicting. With the clipless pedal having fallen into ubiquity, riders who have begun cycling anywhere in the last 15 or so years could be forgiven for calling them “clip-ins” or “clip pedals”. But for those of us who lived through the change, there will always be some part of us which is ever aware of the lack of metal and leather lashing us to the bike. For us, the pedals we ride today will forever be the clipless pedal.

As you were

Clipless on everything.

the question should be:
toe clips OR clipless
real cyclists don't use flat pedals, they are for kids and BMXs

that is just wrong
they are clipless because they don't require toe-clips to keep your feet secure

Single-sided, I choose which shoes to wear depending on how much alcohol is likely to be consumed.
