Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

And, no, I've banished toeclips n' straps from my bikes. Not even half-clips. Tried them both, didn't like them. To get a secure connection, I'd have to cinch them down -- which makes them harder to undo than clipless. If I want to get out of them easily, I can't cinch them down -- which makes them useless as a retention device. If I have to get going before I've flipped the pedal over and slid my foot into the cage without re-flipping them upside down again, leaving the cage hanging underneath, they drag on the pavement -- making my CB Mallet pedals seem like low-profile Speedplays by comparison. I've even wondered if the chrome MKS half-clips I used to use would make sparks when they dragged.
