I use them. Great if you want a way to keep your feet firmly on the pedals and you want to use normal shoes. I go to college and run errands, so carrying extra shoes isn't really practical for me. The less space between lights, the more annoying this can be. It also depends how tight you keep them. If you like them cinched down it can be more of a pain if you have lots of lights. If you don't need them really tight and just want a way to keep the feet from slipping, you can just leave your right foot more loose, so you can slip out and in without needing to tighten.
