I'm scratching my head on this. Is it because the bottom bracket is too low on some bikes? With a 50mm drop, I can't clip a pedal on a 50 degree track (knock on velodrome wood). And, I have a FG bike with 70mm drop - that is painfully easy to clip a pedal on. But yeah, on a track bike I can power through any corner..
I rode fixed gear for years in SF, Baltimore, and DC and never clipped. But, I also wasn't riding alleycats or crits.
