Not to say I didn't see a ton of other bad wrecks, a broken neck, etc, but he wouldn't have gone over like he did had he just been on platforms
hardly relates to this conversation though, since hardly anyone advocates riding
only platforms. he'd have still been fscked if he was in clips & straps, id imagine.
i ride with clips & straps because i usually am going to work, or going to a friends house, or going to class when i ride. for just going on a ride, clipless would be good, but thats less frequently the case.
