I don't ride clips or straps currently. I ride in the city. My feet touch down at stop lights too often, clipping in and out that often would irk the hell outta me. I ride with Chrome shoes. They might be trendy, but they are stiff soled and grippy, with a small reflective stripe on the heel. They fit my needs perfectly. They took their time engineering a comfortable cycling shoe that can function as a regular shoe. I've mentioned these a couple of times, but it's because I like em' gals. Just givin' options.

It is pretty cool to see the types of women we have cycling. Commuting, Racing (incl. Cyclocross), Excercising, Touring - the amazon spirit is alive and well.
