they work perfectly fine but im certain in a situation when a car is coming at me or anything is coming at me and i have to get off the bike im a dead man.these things are not like ski binding they dont just release when you need them to at the moment when your bike goes one way and your body goes the other.my speedplays work great im used to them too but the entire concept is a death trap.so has anyone bought a very expensive bike and not used clipless pedals or had clipless pedals and took them off?i know its just a shame to buy a cervelo like mine and do this but im just asking.im have not taken them off yet but i am considering it .also if not clipless is there anything between clipless and just an old fashioned pedal you all might recommend.and yes the speedplay is adjusted just fine and so are the sidis.thanks all by the way i cant be alone here thinking they are dangerous but maybe just maybe im the one who will admit it
