That's me, too. All my bikes have SPDs, except during Eroica (only because they are required). Back in the day, I raced, commuted, and toured, all on toe clips and straps. I discovered SPDs 20 years ago, and the toe clips and old Campy quills went in the bin - until Eroica. Once a year I drag them out to get used to them just before Eroica, then they go back in the bin of obsolete and dangerous stuff. I've tried Shimano road pedals, and Speedplay, but SPDs are the most durable, easiest in and out of, and most walkable off the bike. No question.
