Commuting through Winter - Clipless or not?

[biking_fox]

ot urban riding with toe clips which has got to be frikin dangerous as your feet are strapped onto your pedals.

What?
Toe clips don't involve strapping your feet in immobile. They're easier (or as easy for the very proficient though I seldom see clipless riders that good) to get feet in and out of and hence safer than clipless. You must be doing it wrong.

Having used both I much prefer clipless, maybe it's you who's "doing it wrong".
Or maybe different folk have different preferences.

Nope, I don't think so. I use SPDs, have been doing so for the last 25 years and not a single problem. I use cleats from time to time, again not a problem. Toeclips are from a bygone era. Are you old?

Clipless cycling boot which is waterproof and warm. Overshoes are a pain and I wear through the toe quickly.

I'd love some goretex socks or winter shoes.

Instead, I got a pair of overshoes given by a kind CC member!
