I use my clips on longer trips. The back and up pull is so awesome.
But I'm trying to practice trackstanding better before I put them on for regular commute. There's nothing scarier than falling from a trackstand while clipped in into a nyc intersection. That'll be horrible. Or I guess I can just clip out.
I think you should give it a try. Or use it as weekend longer ride setup
My clipless setup is SPD-SL with Sidi Genius 5 shoes. Horrible for walking, awesome ride tho.
