Tom Bombadil has seen the first acorn and the first raindrop. He has been here since the beginnings of Middle Earth. So I wouldn't put anything past him, nor would I make any assumptions about what he might or might not do. It's all possible.
For all we know, he doesn't even need pedals, instead being able to just coast up hills sitting straight up riding hands-free.

Don't mince words
Anything he wants to do, he'll do.
Your choices are too limited for my opinion, so I didn't vote. I like the concept, however.

In another post, he said he hasn't gone clipless yet, which implies there's still a chance. Therefore, I voted he's more likely to go clipless. However, the odds are still extraordinarily low..... like 1 in a bazillion.

Tom analyzes, reanalyzes and overanalyzes every possible aspect of each choice to the point that nobody can remember what it is he's talking about and then proceeds to not do either.

Given where Tom lives I would expect an MTB with studded Nokians and crampons on his feet not cleats.

Tom Bombadil has monkeys fly out of his butt is a far better poll option.

I doubt the poseur even owns a bike.
I mean has anyone ever seen him riding a bike? Or even a picture of him on a bike?

There simply isn't enough data to make a choice!

If you had said "nickles" then that's already happened. But enough of that story.

More LIKELY? Going clipless.
You see, the man has on several occasions made mention of shopping for
and test riding recumbents and he currently owns one. One day he'll walk
into a shop and "THE RECUMBENT" will be there. They will be united, he'll
eventually go clipless and they will be one.
Hey, it could happen.
