that would have all been fine, but my chainring decided to take two chunks out of my lower calf, which ended up being un-stitchable due to the depth of the wounds and the lack of remaining skin.
i have two neatly shaped scars above my ankle thanks to clipless pedals, but i have nothing against them at all. i prefer clipless to straps 100% of the time. the stroke power gained from clipless pedals is hard to match with straps, imo.
i'm still debating with myself whether or not to go clipless on the fixed or keep straps, so for the time being i have the garbage pedals that came with my messenger and i'm scared everyday that they're going to come loose.
