Now I know you're one of us.

Clips are cheap, and work well for specific uses.
I would never use clipless on my mountain bike, much to slow to unclip.
My trails are full of tree roots & rocks, I need to have my feet available instantly.
I actually was kinda making fun of you, but on a respectful level. I love all the classic fixies and fixie riders out there. They are... well classy. I don't commute everywhere on a bike, I ride because I enjoy it. Now, when I move this fall and have the ability to commute to work, the grocery, and etc, I might get some toe clips (or just throw some sandals in my bag). But for now I'll settle for my carbon fork, eggbeaters, and sidis, although I often get strange looks.
