The only places QR seat posts are a good idea is off-road bikes where it's sometimes a good idea to lower the seat. For bikes that are used on the road and could potentially be locked up and left somewhere, all they do is make it easier for someone to steal the saddle, by opening the QR and sliding out the post and walking away. You come back to find your missing saddle and post. A bolt on seat post clamp means they need or need to find the proper tool, to open the bolt and remove the post.
