I wanna go clipless. I really like my toe clips and straps. I tried playing with them the other day with tightening the strap all the way, and really like the feeling of being connected to my pedal. I wanna go a step further so I don't have to keep fiddling with the darn strap.

However, I still must need to be able to use my bike for quick trips to the store without wearing clipless shoes. Its my only bike and we don't have room to keep a second bike (actually third, if you count my girlfriend's).

Was looking at some of the half-platform half-clipless pedals. How are your impressions on these things?

Was also reading some old threads about pedals like the CB Mallet with giant platforms, however the consensus was that the platform was for stability with the clip, and not for riding with regular street shoes.
