    Is clipless pedal like the one you "click" ourself into, like Shimano STD?

    And toe clip is?

    I thought I had it all figured out but then this thread came up
    The reason is that it's confusing (from a language standpoint, that is)! Yes, you're right clipless pedals are the ones you clip yourself into.
    Toe clips are a cage that is attached to a pedal (not a clipless one...) that comes over the toe of your shoe. There is also a strap that attaches to both the pedal and the toe clip. It's used to tighten the connection between your foot and the pedal so you can pull up. I guess you could say that toe clips & straps are the predecessor to our current clipless pedals.
