I finally went out in February to get a light roadie bike for long rides, had the pretty thing out in the parking lot of the LBS with the cagey/trap nasties on, zooming, feeling good, thinking I might actually be getting the hand of things, stopped and couldn't get my feet out of those dratted contraptions ARGH! slow motion topple, seperated AC joint, I bought the bike with speedplay pedals, there wasn't any freaking way I was going to ride in those traps after all they'd already tried to kill me once! And yes I've failed to get out of the speedplays a couple of times now, but even at that I like them enough I'm really thinking of adding them to my cranky old MTB when I work it over this winter.
