I don't have a car anymore. Use my bike(s) for commuting, grocery shopping, 100 mile charity rides, etc.
Clipless works for me; foot retention in rainy or snowy conditions, same position(stop hitting chainstays), etc.
I'm not going to say to anyone that they should be using clipless too. I'll say try it. Buy some shoes(less than
US$100, closeout/used even better); Shimano SPD M520 pedals($30). I you end up not liking it; you can still
use the shoes with standard pedals/platforms. You're out US$30. In the 10 years I've been using clipless; haven't
crashed because of my pedals. I've slipped on black ice and a wet metal plate. But the type of pedals I'm using
didn't play a role in those incidents.
