You ever say a word too many times and it sorta looses it's meaning to you for a moment?
Toe clips are way more dangerous than clipless. First, they are designed to be worn with straps, and old fashioned cleated shoes, which are basically obsolete and hard if not impossible to find. So you have people riding using toe clips with tennis or running shoes, which is less than optimal. And, a lot easier to release with clipless than it is with toe clips.
