Clips and straps scare the shit out of me. I've been riding my mates fixed gear with cheapo plastic flat pedals for about 3 weeks (he's not been riding it a lot really) and today I got a Fuji Track and I'm well scared of it. I think I've picked up the technique quite well though. Just have to remember that the only way out is back. I think I was always dismounting the pedals backwards anyway because if you go forwards you get a pedal scraping down the back of your leg.
