I switched over six or eight months ago, I guess.

My observation: Performance gains are modest and slow coming. You don't just automatically get X mph faster because you own them.

Platform pedals are more convenient when stopping and starting, and clipless are more convenient when riding. So if you're doing more riding and less stopping, they're the way to go.

On the "everybody falls", I haven't yet. Have come close several times, but managed to pop a foot out at the last second.
