I like riding with clipless pedals. First started using them on my mtn bike. It was pretty good and I liked being attached to the bike. When I started road biking I just used mtn bike pedals and mtn bike shoes. I rode that way for a good 15+ years. Mtn bike shoes are definitely much more comfortable off the bike then road shoes. Later, when I got a new road bike I went and got road pedals and shoes. Took a little bit of time to get used to them but I like them ok.
