I like the idea of being clipped into the pedal, however I have lost my sense of confidence. I know that there is a debate between clipless and platform. I am not a long distance rider, more of a fitness rider. Are there others using platforms with their road bikes? How do you feel about platform pedals and what kind of pedals do you use?
