I'm happy to accept that clipless is more efficient but I feel comfortable with the short strapless clips, and have no problem in getting out of them in falls. I don't take part in races - except occasional sprint finishes with friends
- so riding more quickly is not an aim in terms of absolute times or beating other riders, just in improving on my own performance over time.
