It's great to see all the "confessions" of the clipless renegades who've gone back not only to toeclips but to loose toeclips and in some cases platforms. I'm not a renegade, I've been in denial of the benefits of clipless at least for efficiency since they came out - I never left loose toeclips. I guess I started being an old fart in my 20's!
Aren't those hemlines due to go up again, too?
