The only reason I've thought of trying again is the more efficient transfer of power, which would be a factor on long rides. But, clipless systems are relatively new in the history of bicycling, and people rode across the country and over hill and dale just fine before they came along. Well, yeah, but we got along fine with typewriters too. (I'm arguing with myself here.)
I am happy with the platforms and Power Grips, my sneakers fit, and I'm not afraid to ride my bike. I could maybe become a stronger cyclist with clipless. This debate in my head rages on. Thanks for all the thoughtful responses. That's why these forums are great. I'm thinking....
DnvrFox, I'd usually unclip one side in anticipation and then the Evil Gravity Force would drop me off the other side.
