I never bought clipless pedals because I didn't think I would be able to find shoes my size that fit right. I use the toe clips that came with my bike, and they work fine. It's easy to find shoes that you can ride with, and when you dismount, you don't look like a tap-dancer. Click-clack--

Unless you've ridden in cleats with clips, or clipless, you have NO idea what your missing - about 15% or your power!! Remember, you SPIN your peddles, not STOMP. The ability to pull backwards in the lower 2 quadrants of a stroke, plus upwards in the rear 2 really helps. Yes, you can pull UP with just toe clips, but you can't pull back
