All of my mountain bikes have platform pedals, and all of my road bikes have MKS touring pedals without toeclips, except my Bertoni which has steel clips and leather straps (but I very rarely ride it). I used to always use toeclips, but once I started commuting I stop using them and haven't missed them yet. I've also tried clipless pedals and couldn't stand it. I hate having to put on any special clothing just to ride, so the shoes pretty much ruined it for me. Plus I didn't like not being able to move my feet around at will. I don't use a speedometer so I don't know if I'm any slower, but I doubt I am and I don't care anyway.
