Traps and straps are more difficult to ride with, harder to get in and out of and annoy the top of my foot. They're silly and I can't understand why anyone has used them since SPDs.
Your thinking of those old fashioned ones with the nylon strap buckle "thing a ma bobs". I guess what I thought the OP had was the newer style clips that you simply slide into and it holds your shoe in place. I have those on my commuter and they are great for on off in traffic lights etc.
