Ironic because I take so much **** for using plastic toe clips. I still don't see why plastic ones are "inferior". Everyone from my friends to Bike Snob keep telling me they are crap, but I just don't see it. And yes I have used all kinds of foot retention before, and the only thing that seems better (for some things) are clipless pedals.
