I just purchased a new (used) Bianchi Brava with "2-sided" clipless pedals. I've never used clipless pedals of any sort before and I have a few questions. I plan to use this bike mostly for commuting and some touring.

1. Should I keep the clipless pedals? Are they safe for city commuting? I commute 30-60 miles a week. New pedals will probably cost about the same as new shoes.

2. If I keep the clipless pedals, do I always need to wear special shoes with them? What if I'm just going for a quick ride to the store?

3. Anything else you want to tell me about clipless pedals?

Thanks
