I also don't think that SilverSon has had any slow speed incidents due to his clips and he just put them on one day, read the instructions, and started riding one day while we were out!

You're not a woos, but trust me, if the SilverFamily can adjust to clips...anyone can.
Mr.Silver,
I think your terminology is a bit off-

"Clipless" are the ones you snap/clip your special shoe into and then you are attached to the pedals.
"Clips" are the metal cages you stick your shoe toe into, with the leather strap across the top.
And then of course there are plain old platform pedals for us low brow types....
