Apparently these same people have A LOT of experience falling over which comes to light when it pertains to giving advice on how to stop lol.
Funny you never hear about anyone needing to dissect a simple stop based upon potentially falling into traffic when using toe clips
I have mentioned toeclips above. In my experience toeclips are much more difficult to deal with than clipless if you tighten the straps like you are supposed to. I’ve fallen with them probably more often than with clipless because I tightened them.
