I see a pretty even split between Clipless and Clips and straps. In the 8 days since I started this thread I have ridden my 520 quite a few times with just the platforms and no straps, I couldn't count the number of times my feet have slipped of the pedals. I have finally gotten my new brooks saddle adjusted where it's comfortable and the handlebars set the way I like them so now I will definitely swap out the platforms for something like a set of Shimano PDM-545. I think I will go with a new pair of shoes, some that are comfortable for walking besides being clipless.
