by the way, i'v always wondered, why do they call pedals with clips clipless? I know its probably a stupid question, but i just dont understand.
because when they were first invented, the desired way to hold your feet on the pedals were toe clips and straps. because the clipless didnt have those clips haning off of them, they were called clipless. and you can "spin" on platform pedals (or at least be smooth enough to counter act the bob), but its almost impossible to learn to spin without them.
