I use clipless because it is what the bike came with. I had some Diadora Geckos which I felt a little weird walking around in, and now I have these Specialized shoes which look just like regular gym shoes and have regular rubber soles.

I have thought of adding a brake and using platforms or cages but I like being able to pull up hard when I am trying to go fast or when I am trying to slow down or stop. For the street it seems like you would have to have the straps to loose for them to work properly. (Or else risk tipping over while you are trying to loosen them?)
