Yes, I will agree with that. I have missed the feel of them on my toes out of habit. I do pedal with the balls of my feet though, even on my 3 speed roadster with the smooth Raleigh pedals. As far as safety is concerned I would never say anything is impossible but I also feel like it's a low risk... now if it ever happens I will think of you and curse the day I didn't head your post.
