I'm too lazy for clipless, so i just run clips and straps on most of the fleet.

eh, but i dig your humor..

also did anyone feel a little sore after riding clipless? I know when im clmbing a hill on my fixie and my cadence has slowed down i pull my clips up to help climb. Anyhow, after doing this for a while i notice my legs feel more tired. Probably because i'm not used to such a full pedal stroke and those muscles may be under-developed from riding clips and never really having to pull up. Well, i was thinking, because clipless kind of forces you to pull the pedal back up did you guys notice any soreness the first few weeks or a change in muscle strength/develoment in muscles you never used before etc?
