I have removed my right pedal toe clip because I can only skid-stop with my left leg in front and I have my front brake on.
Toe overlapping is serious on my brake so I do this for the ease of leaving my foot off the pedal while doing sharp corner.
But it seems weird as everybody is asking me why do I have only 1 toe clip. Is it really that weird?

(sorry for my bad english)

I'd put that other toeclip back on. You get used to handling the bike with toe overlap, my bike does it and it's ok after a little while. Having both feet clipped in means you have way more control over your speed. You're going to go through tires quickly if your only way of stopping is to skid.

It makes sense if you only ride your bike at 5 mph. Foot retention prevents your legs from being kicked off the pedals at high speeds. It works for both legs.

I've done it in a pinch when I broke a clip. 2/10 would not do again. Learning how to handle your bike mitigates the "problem" of toe overlap.

Thanks I think I am going to put it back on
I am able to handle toe overlapping by controlling pedal freq but sometimes I need to do a 180 and it's inevitable for it to happen.

I broke one of them when i was going hard and rode with one for a while (too lazy to find another one) but it sucks when climbing and skidding with only one side eats your tire quicker.
