ah, I did not know that. so how long ago were those phased out? like 40 years ago? since they're gone, why are we still referring to any others as - non-them. they're gone, forget them. new names for new stuff, I say. let's call the new new stuff cleats, not clipless. after all, we don't call cars horseless carriages anymore

re: "it's called a strike when the ball isn't struck"

that is some good stuff right there
I rode clips and straps all through the 80s. Go the Speedplay pedal museum and you can see the changes and when the modern clipless pedal really came into vogue. To answer your question, clipless started being widely used in the early to mid 90s
