Having the pedals get away from you on a downhill and dangling from the saddle nose & bar-drops while keeping feet from the cuisine art blades the pedals become is a gruesome thought. A pair of brakes, good old Look pedals and well fitted cleats for me thanks.

Reminds me why this FG on the road thing is not for everyone.
It takes a properly set-up machine and a rider willing to commit and adapt to a distinctly un-modern & demanding machine.
You pedal it and it pedals you right back, fair is fair.
