That's pretty good advice. I trained myself to pedal in circles by staring at my front wheel while I climb on my road bike. For some reason that helped smooth out my pedal stroke alot. I don't recommend doing this on trails obviously.
I hate riding more than a few miles without my clipless pedals. It feels so inefficent.
