There are times, especially when climbing, that if I wasn't attached to the pedal I'd probably fall. I can't be bothered to try focus on keeping my feet on a pedal. I'm just telling myself to keep moving. I can't imagine how much it would suck to ride platforms in these types of situations. Well, basically, I wouldn't be able to.
