What about foot bindings or whatever the general term is? I refuse to ride a bike unless it has some form. They can be toe clips or clipless cleats or Power Grips, as long as they're something. Do you folks feel the same way?
Yes on the fenders, no on the foot attachment. I started using toe clips in '79 or so, went to cleats and clips in '82 or so, went to clipless SPD's in '96 or so. But when I started riding a folding bike (for a small proportion of my riding) in '05, I couldn't put clips or SPD's on it, so I did without; and I got to like it that way. I still have clips on one bike, and clipless on another, but for most riding I use plain old platform pedals and am perfectly happy with them.
