I currently ride/commute with toeclips that came on my Trek Pilot bike. Last week I was turning into my driveway at a decent speed and nearly slid out on some dirt/dust. My first reaction was to pull my feet up off the pedal... which didn't work because of the toeclips. If I did lose it, I'd have crashed hard with my feet neatly in the toeclips.

So that got me to thinking that if I got used to getting in/out of clipless pedals, my first reaction would have been to twist out rather than pull up.

Does that logic make sense? Or did I just find an excuse for yet another purchase?
