took me a couple rides to get used to it. i feel more secure in clipping in and out of clipless than clips (sometimes the straps get caught on folds and creases on my shoes so my foot gets kinda stuck and i stumble. doesn't happen to me really on clipless)
i'm rockin some puma suedes the i cut up to work with clipless mountain pedals. no need for lycra and nice for walking around to class and such
