Of those who ride with clips and straps, how tight do you adjust the straps?

Do you leave them the same tightness/looseness all the time and slip your foot in and out of them, or do you tighten and loosen them while riding?

Back in the days when I rode geared bikes with clips and straps I adusted the straps to where I could slip my foot in and out, and I left the straps at that adjustment all the time.

My son, as I have written earlier, rides his geared bike with clips and straps and adjusts them while riding.

I'd like to know how fixed gear riders deal with straps.

I have no doubt that different riders use different strategies.
