BITD it was Lyotard 460D.. you just learned the knack of jumping back on and flipping both pedas over at once .
check out the old CX Race Videos .. didn't slow them down much at all.
I'm on board with that logic at the moment. I ride SPD's on the road, clips and straps on my MTB and platforms on my CX bike. I simply can't get in and out of SPDs fast enough. My first and only CX race had a bit of snow on the ground and I saw way too many people having issues with getting in and out of their pedals. I also want to be able to get out of them in a nanosecond (like when I went over the bars in that race--glad I wasn't attached to the bike).
Sure, it takes away a bunch of pedaling efficiency, but I make it up by never worrying about my footing. Plenty of mountainbikers ride platforms, so I find it odd that no crossers do.
