Now that I have been riding a couple of beater bikes for the winter, I've gotten used to flat pedals again. I prefer toe clips but I've been wearing hiking boots and I don't want to fit toe clips on those winter bikes. That split second fitting your foot into the clip may mean keep rolling momentum or stalling again.

There has been a few times when I wonder, while riding through the bumps and the troughs in the snow, if toe clips would have made me more stable as in keeping my foot on the pedal.
