yeah, that's my problem. i am a MTB'er who recently converted to a fixed gear for city riding & commuting. my bianchi pista came with clipless, so i decided to stay clipless because i am so used to it on my MTB. however, i use this bike to go to commute, go to the grocery store, to the bank, to bars & parties, etc... so having the special cleat shoes is becoming quite an annoyance when i just want to be casual.
i am torn between the comfort and ease of just hopping on the bike with straps and the power and dynamics of being clipped in. as of now, i am still clipless...
i don't think i will ever find the solution...!
