Ok... I have to say it... cause it has been bugging me since I started reading cycling articles and forums...
Maybe its mountain bike origins of which I freely admit I know little...
Maybe this question is hugely naive or dumb for some other reason...
But I havta, havta, havta ask....
Who on earth decided that pedals that you HAVE to CLIP your foot/shoe INto should be called clipless?????????
I used pedals with nothing but pedals when I was a kid...
When I started cycling again last year, I used pedals that had toe ends/cages and straps... I "strapped" or "tied" myself in...
Now I have cleats in my shoes and I "clip" IN
Please... someone explain the logic behind calling the pedals you clip IN to "clipless"???
Pleeeeeease???

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
