And many of these people carry their shoes with them...
Yes, shocking isn't it. And these people don't suffer the insecurities that seem to befall the fix community.
Duh. Thanks for the tip.

Your concession is exactly my point. "Riding around town" is transportation for those without cars, I don't really think I want a pair of bike shoes to be the shoes I wear all of the time, especially a pair of $100 bike shoes. I'll stick to my $40 Chucks thanks.
My only regret is that the next time I ride to the grocery store or the bar, someone might pass me because they have the luxury of more power transfer due to their clipless pedals.
