Makes sense. Thanks. If you leave the straps just loose enough to give you an exit if you need it will it make much difference to the actual power transferred to the pedal? I've been doing one pedal drills on the stationary bike and its kind of fun. I'd bet you could do the same on a real bike as well and break up a 6-10 hour ride a bit. It seems every man and his dog rides clipless, but I like being able to wear whatever shoes I need for the day and still ride my bike. I usually use bmx/studded pedals and they stick really nicely, but I figured I'd try something different and see what (if any) difference it makes.
