And I hate having your shins knocked all the time by pedals. / Can't say , I have expereinced your complaint once you give them time and get truly acquainted with them.
I can't really say I hate clipless, but it's not a necessity for me. I'm not into competitive riding, and I do it for fun. Many say you get the maximum biking stroke, but I'm not going up steep hills and couldn't care less about the time factor, so platforms are fine.
