Clipless makes sense on roads outside of the city where you can really hammer, or in the big parks like Central and Prospect. Clipless does NOT make sense when riding on the city streets. How hard can you hammer before hitting a traffic signal and losing all the advantage you may have gained? And then there's the annoyance of unclipping and reclipping at every traffic signal. Clipless just takes all the fun out of riding in the city.

Ridiculous! When I ride in the city I ride my platforms and enjoy the hell out of the experience.
