I know what everyone says, once you clip in, you never unclip, but my dad has recently added clip-less pedals to his bike, and the idea of not being able to wear my everyday shoes, isnt so appealing. Recently been looking into Speedplay Drilliums, or Brass Knuckles.

Mostly doing just neighborhood riding, and whatever air I can find, but looking into more serious downhill riding.
Heard that serious Platform pedals is the way to go for bigger air, which is one thing I'm very into currently.
Any tips?
