Does anyone use normal shoes with clipless pedals (clipless on both sides) for short rides up to 5 miles?
The amount of danger varies inversely with rider skill. The ultimate is to only clip in once when you leave, and unclip once when you get to your destination.
Having a fixed gear makes the above much more easy.
