I am sure many people still have the attitude,"You must be nuts to lock your feet onto your pedals!"
The reality is that for most of us who have gone 'clipless', (special shoes with cleats that engage directly with the pedal) there is just no turning back. The rewards in control and efficiency are just too good.
There is no question that on longer rides, clipping in is the way to go. However, I find for small jaunts to the store or what have you, I don't necessarily want to be in my bike shoes. They are stiff and don't lend well to many other activities, like meeting someone for a pint, dancing or a game of frisbee for example.
For this reason, I tend to wear normal shoes and run regular pedals on my beater bike. No way as efficient, but more practical for the all the short neighbourhood trips I make.
