I used to not even count as miles ridden if I went out on my bike without clipless.. Just not a serious ride.( in my log) Can't put maxamimum amount of energy into it.. That is me..
My wife's bike, I use ocassionally for around town errands.. A hybrid... Used to have straps.. I hated those... Feel more restrained than Look pedals.. Plus I feel the pressure from straps atop shoes...
So I put "Power Grips' on her bike... I like those.. Pretty easy to get out.. Not as easy as looks, however- I feel... But I like the way they feel and have some sensation of ' pulling up' on the upstoke... If you do not like clipless, I would recommend Power Grips... When on the bike with Power grips and now log those miles...
