Good advice regarding avoidance of wrist fractures. I suffered a Colles' fracture of the right radius (not my dominant hand, and I have a superb orthopedist, but bad news anyway!) several years ago and would not wish it on anyone.

Does anyone in this forum own and ride bikes with clips ("strap-ins") and bikes with snap-in clipless retainers? Is it difficult or confusing to switch back and forth? I keep thinking I should perhaps go clipless with the Bianchi, but I like being able to wear walkable or street shoes with my commuting and mountain bikes.
