I've ridden with toeclips on my FG commuter for the past 7 months. Just this past Friday, I tried out the clipless pedals and shoes that I ordered and accelerating is much different than toeclips.

When accelerating, I can pull up with my entire foot (notably the heel) which, in turn, pulls my clipped in shoe up, which, in turn, pulls the entire pedal up.

Toeclips are convenient for just wearing your normal shoes everywhere, but accelerating and keeping an efficient pedal technique is less superior to that of clipless.

I say go clipless and just skip the toeclips altogether. While the investment will seem expensive for you now, just wait until you've ridden clipless for the summer and you'll be glad you made the choice.

For starters, I'd recommend the Shimano 105 pedals.
