Can you not go with clipless pedals + cycling shoes?

old-style clips + straps scare me.

I use the bike around town. i don't even own a pair of cycling shoes. i understand why they they would scare you because they are restrictive. but for longer journey and especially in wet conditions they can be helpful.

I agree, but you get all the same benefits with clipless but the added advantage of being able to get your feet out quickly. Especially helpful in stop/start city traffic.


I had some clipped pedals which looked like this. They were quite light and not too bulky but I didnt use them much so I cant comment on performance.

I use clips and straps. Way better for what I use the bike for than any clipless system has been able to offer me.

These are the ones I've got: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190804528055

Bend to fit your shoe and look best on a classic road bike.
