Heh, well, you can send'em over here, I don't like clipless and much prefer to clips & straps system. I don't like wearing special shoes and just couldn't fully get into the clipless thing - I tried normal SPD's but there seemed to be this "give" in them on the upstroke that was just really annoying and I tried frogs but the pedal was so small I got horrible hot spot pains on the bottom of my foot. I like a BIG pedal... and the clips and straps give me a good sized pedal but still allow some up-pull and proper placement... cozy.
