As an old fart I didn't move to clipless until four years ago. Cannot believe I waited so long. My brain was obviously stuck somewhere in the past on this one. There is no comparison. Even for recreational riding.

Have to laugh at myself as I think about my first group ride in clipless. Rode up to a small group in front of me that had stopped to help a fellow rider who had a mechanical problem. Was to intent on same that I forgot that I was in clipless and stopped before stepping out. And fell into the group of them. A real "clipless moment".

I rode with DA SPDs for these past four years. Just up-graded to Campy Record this year and is a nicer pedal with a larger platform.
