Me too. I love clipless pedals.

It's really easy to get out of them. In fact I have had several crashes or other unplanned stops and sudden dismounts since I began using clipless pedals and every time the bike and I separate with no input from me.

I can't say the same for the old toe clips.

Old toe clips or clipless you have to remember to unclip when you stop. No difference to me.

But like you realize either way is better than just pushing.
