On the other hand, I LOVE vintage road pedals with toe clips, done loosely for easy entry and exit. I can pull up with the trailing foot without losing the pedal, while riding in casual shoes. IMO the best pedals for this are single sided, with the little pointed flipper nub. Not quills, not double sided flats. Something like MKS GR-9/10.[/QUOTE]
I feel the same way, After riding for years with toe clips, I have been very hesitant to go clipless. On my flatbar Cannondale Quick, I have flat pedals. On my Bianchi Infinito I use toe clips.
I have been tempted to go with clipless on both bikes. If I do, I will probably go with the mountain style clips for ease of getting out of the pedals, as I do a lot of urban riding.
