Makes sense. Including strapping in even with clipless. I'm wondering whether the two times Lance Armstrong yanked a foot out of his clipless pedals in the TdF whether he was using the zero float cleats. Seems like those would be a little easier to unclip from accidentally if the foot twisted during hard acceleration. Which was what he was doing both times it occurred -- once at the start of a time trial, the other time standing to accelerate up a climb.

I'm pretty sloppy with my technique so I like the Look and Shimano cleats with lots of float. Even when I've yanked up so hard on the pedals during a standing climb the back wheel came off the ground, I've never accidentally unclipped. Yet.

I might ask him if I see him at the next local event. Probably the only burning question I've ever had about his career. The rest have been done to death.
