Ha, I am one of the FALLEN too..
I commute on all my vintage bikes, and they all have toe clips. However, one day I took my Litespeed Classic on my commute because I wanted to hit the bike trail when I got off from work. Low and behold, I am downtown in traffic, and I come up what I thoght was smooth pavement, but it was a curb. I am clipped in, and over I go!!
Speaking only for myself, on commuting, I am using toe clips. On bike rides, then I go with my clipless. I need to have my feet ready in traffic..
