And I'd rather not have to twist my heel to click out every time I want to disengage and it gets old fast in a town with a lot of stop signs.
I should add...
From a cycling performance standpoint, I think it's probably a great idea. They main thing holding me back is, sometimes I'm riding for two very different reasons. Most of the time, I'm riding for the exercise. So... non-stop, rather fast paced tunnel vision riding. Other times, I'm riding to explore a new greenway, trail or countryside. Stopping at various places and just checking things out. Or sometimes I'll have my photography equipment with me and looking to explore and shoot scenes while I'm riding. Obviously, clipless pedals won't be very useful for these situations. I suppose I could always change pedals beforehand, depending on the type of ride I'll be doing, but that seems like that will get old quick.
So.....
