Yes, indeed. If you practice, you can get your foot into the pedal without looking down and without slowing the pedal stroke. Start off with the clipped foot and when the pedal comes around, insert your other foot and off you go. Faster than stopping your pedal stroke to snap in a clipless, I think.
