Different POV. I went clipless a few years ago, but when I moved to Reno, I found that my road bike (Masi Resolucione) was just too much bike for me. So, on my Sirrus Elite I went back to platform pedals. I'm not a speed demon so I saw little performance improvement with clipless and at the time, was doing too much city street riding and didn't feel comfortable. I am, as you can see, a proud member of Club Tombay all of whose members have fallen because they were clipped in and couldn't unclip in time.

So I'm happy with platforms and feel more relaxed on them. I'm 67, btw.
