Good conversation, for me I guess the "dab" ability on some of the more technical portions keep me leaning towards platforms. But on some bouncy downhills, I feel more secure when I have been clipped in.

I did ride a century about 18 months ago and have a couple planned for this spring. The pedaling seems more efficient clipped in. Plus its kinda electric when you hear @40 riders clicking in when the light turns green. Crap does this make me a FRED?
