I decided on Friday's commute to switch my pedals back to flats. The sections I am on road, are through areas with lots of driveways, harried delivery trucks and the such. Too much possibility for suddden stops - and well, I still am not that automatic in my clip out response. I'm okay for normal road riding, but increasingly uncomfortable on the commute.
