As for me---going clipless was one of the best upgrades I have done. Yep---did the falling thing. In fact fell again this week and I have been riding clipless for over a year (Just takes a momements inattention). But that aside---I feel as though I pedal much more efficientlly clipless. I kept arguing that my toe clips were just as good as clipless until I tried clipless. I was wrong. Each to their own however.
