Here I go... possibly about to make a fool of myself again... I understand cinching the straps down on a track. Maybe. Dunno bc I've never done it. But in traffic? Every time you come to a light (if you can't track stand) you're gonna loosen one, then the light turns, you're gonna put your foot back in and cinch it again? I guess you could get good at timing it, but seems to me like in the meantime you're missing it, not paying attention to the road, maybe veering into traffic... seems dangerous. I've got mine pretty tight, and it's a ***** to get into sometimes, but it does the trick. Errr... enough until I save some money and get a good answer on the likelihood of pulling out of clipless on a whip skid (see my earlier post).
