Do I Need To Go Clipless?

[KSH]

Heck yes, I NEVER used the straps on a toe-cage thing... too dayam scarey!

I used the straps at the LBS when I took my bike on a test run.

My foot got caught and I fell down with the bike... and I hadn't even bought it yet.

I was sold on clipless right then and there. So, I bought my bike with clipless pedals... due to the fear factor associated with the toe-cage.

I only fell once with my clipless pedals.... in 1.5 years.
