Not true. Once you learn how to properly use stickies (platform pedals with pins along with sticky-soled shoes, you can totally bunny hop without clipless pedals.

What most folks don't realize about stickies is that you have a lot of control of your pedals just by changing the position of your foot (as well as gripping with your toes).
