Hehe, no-one ever told me this in the early 80's. heck they even sold me big "cleat" things to put on my shoes just to make sure my feet wouldn't come out.

Okay, maybe i'm a dinosaur. But he's right, there is no reason to have ones feet stuck in the pedals anymore, that is why they don't even sell old style cleats.

Took some real planning ahead to stop though, as you'd have to remeber to undo the straps before slowing down. I guess if one had to emergency stop, one would simply fall over if there was no time to free the feet.

take care,

Steve
