Im definately NOT a flatlander !
I think platform only-ers come
to their own technique that maximises what
they have to work with. I pedal a 40lb Single
speed chunker in VT. ( A few hills

) and still
would not go clipless. As stated previously,
I only use toe clips on my fixie and wouldnt even
do that except for the downhills around here which
would be too treacherous without some type of
holding device.
Hopefully Ill test your theory about tooling around Amsterdam
too !!
