I've never understood how clipless are any different from toestraps. I mean, if you think you might be coming to a stop, you unclip a little in advance.

Maybe it's because people are encouraged to start out "slow." That's probably the worst advice. When you're actually going slow, you should have one foot unclipped.

I don't get it. I didn't fall on my first day with clipless, and I've never fallen because of being clipped in.

I don't get it. Clipped-in falls are like driving 75 mph up to a yellow light and wondering why you couldn't stop when it turned red.
