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?
Only one of my bikes has clips/straps. The other three just plain ol' pedals.
For long rides, I wear running shoes, I yank the straps down tight, compressing the soles a bit, making feet nice and snug.
If I'm wandering around town shopping or whatnot, I leave 'em loose often.
I just use what came on the bike usually. I just built up my KHS, with $12 pedals. I'll probably get clips for 'em by summer time trail riding season...
