When I first went clipless I was completely miserable. I fell over constantly, I even have scars from them. I wanted to take them off of the bike and throw them into the deepest lake I could find. I stuck with them though. Little by little I started getting used to them. Now I could not imagine riding a bike without them. To me clipless pedals are the most important upgrade I have ever made.

Now, if I rode terrain like Maelstrom does I would be on platforms. You always need to pick the right tool for the job.
