Ditto. I tend to make a day out of my rides by stopping in cool little towns to eat before or after the ride, and I just didn't want to have to carry another pair of shoes with me. The cleat on my Lake mtb shoes isn't totally recessed so I'm probably going to wear my cleats out sooner than I would otherwise, but I have to admit I get a kick out of that clicking sound as I walk down the street. It's my subtle way of saying "Yeah, I'm a biker, that's right..."

(I'm also a nerd, in case you hadn't noticed. )
