Clipless pedals – can you ever go back?
It really wasn’t that long ago that I made the switch from platform pedals and pedals with toe clips to clipless pedals. Once I did I never went back. Even my daily commute was done with Shimano mountain bike shoes mated to my SPD clipless pedals. I chose that setup for my commute because it was the best balance between clipless pedals and shoes that were reasonable to walk around in. Non-commute rides are always done on Look pedals.
Now that I’ve taken a job closer to home, however, my cycling habits and opinions are being … well, reevaluated. As part of that process, I actually swapped out my SPD pedals for a pair of – you guessed it – pedals with toe clips.
