clipless makes bunny hops a heck of a lot easier
i started out clipless on my roadbike.. yes it was freaky in the middle of downtown toronto- no experience- so i learnt. what i did find when i got my mtn bike and put flats on them first.. was my legs tired more, and it is really slippery in the mud clipless let me us all of my leg muscles, hams and quads and i was more efficient riding- especially hills.
