I think it's because the "clip" part of "clipless" refers to the original toe clips, and without toe clips then you are "clipless". The thinking is that if you don't have toe clips on your pedals, then you need something to keep your feet attached..... therefore cleats that clip into pedals. The "less" part of "clipless" refers to the absence of toe clips. Have I confused you even more?
I'm on the verge of going clipless this week.![]()
