Riding clipless in the city is like driving a manual transmission. It's more hardcore, but in stop-and-go traffic it can be a pain.

Thankfully, bikes have the freedom to move ahead in clogged traffic. But stoplights and stopsigns every 100 ft or so is painful. Nonetheless, I roll with platforms. But, I'll purchase a roadbike this year for commuting etc. and they'll have clipless.
