I don't HATE clipless, but I don't use it anymore. I've had different systems on three road bikes and a mountain bike, and they worked fine, but about two years ago I realized it was more a PITA than a help. I went back to old school toe clips and mountain shoes (lugged soles) without cleats. I'm no slower anywhere, don't get any more tired on long rides and I can go in for coffee without walking like a duck.
