Up till this summer all of my bikes had toe clips on them. I bought a slightly used pair of Shimano MTB because they worked with the toe clips and were nice and stiff. The seller threw in a pair of clipless pedals that worked with the cleats in the shoes. I decided to try the combination since I had both the shoes and pedals. Now all my bikes have clipless. The urbanized MTB has double sided pedals with platforms on one side and clipless on the other. I now have a box of old pedals and toe clips and straps. Don't think I will be looking back any time soon.

My main complaint against the clips-straps combo was that in the last couple of years I was getting some numbness on the outside of my left foot from the pressure of the strap. Other than that, I like the clip-straps setup as it is a great old school touch.
