[MENTION=131376]PaulRivers[/MENTION], I do get your point, but I didn't take offense at the remark because it's OK in the proper context. I agree that I don't think clipless are for everyone, especially the less agile and the brittle-boned. My wife is in her 60s, and there isn't much reason for her to take that risk even if her perception of the risk is greater than the real risk. And yes, a bone break when you're old can be fatal.
