I joined the other team... GO CLIPLESS !!!!
I wasnt gonna post this on these interweb forums but I havent posted in a while... and I'm wasting a few minutes at home before I go out and actually do something tonight... but...
I rode clipped in the other day for the first time and today for another few miles. I LOVE it! I cant believe how much easier it is on your body. No sore feet. No strap marks on your nice suede Vans LOL.
I am destined to start a shoe company that makes clipless shoes or at least SPD compatible shoes that dont look like youre Robocop on a bike.
Everyone who rides in cages/straps needs to ride clipped in for a few miles and if you can get past the fashion frenzy, you'll never go back.
I may toss on my Sylvans and cages/straps for a bar/coffee/food run but if I'm out riding like more than 3 miles, I'm rocking these loaner Time Atacs and Nike clipless... til I get my owns LOL
(Make sure you rock MTB shoes though... at least you can walk normal.)
