I have no experience with shoes and shoe clips but I read there are at least three different types of clips. Haven't read much more than that yet.
Based on your experiences, what clips/shoes do you recommend (older models because I usually buy used). Feel free to reply with anything you feel will be helpful such as advantages, drawbacks, etc. Thanks ...
Since you ride city streets ,and not a race track or the dirt, what the heck do you need pedal clips for??
Life is simple riding now so why screw it up with pedal clips???
