A little bit, but makes it easier


- LBS guy said spd and either shimano pd-m520 or eggbeaters Candy X for what thats worth. I've seen Time ATACS mentioned as well.
All seem pretty good

-How is it riding in an urban setting? Part of my commute is downtown. Will the start stop on clipless with a fixed be a pain? I can't trackstand but hope to learn eventually, but assuming my clutzy nature prevents it ever happening? Most posters seemed to say its okay, and my own experience (OMG I CAN'T GET INTO MY CLIPS/STRAPS WHILE ITS MOVING ON MY FIXED F*CK HALP...oh wait its easy) tells me not to stress.
mountain bike pedals (what your mechanic suggested) are two sided and easy to clip into. clipping out becomes second nature

I guess mostly I feel like I need to experience it for myself to judge, the same as I needed to experience fixed to say whether I'd like it or not, but your input/responses to this stale question that I have searched would be appreciated.
i like... very much
