Tip number one - use them for picture taking then store them in a box. I have little or no use for straps and clips! I think they are antiquated and dangerous. With that in mind, I always use clip-in pedals on all of my bikes when riding.
I am sure that will elicit a flame, or two, but I feel strongly about pedal selection. I am a father and grandfather with lots of people responsibilities. I try to minimize riding danger, as much as I can, and the modern pedal/shoe system is a must for me...
And, though this is more opinion, once you try clip-ins, you will never want to go back to anything else.
