i find clips and straps worse! i almost fell off and died twice because of them a couple of years ago, one because of toe/front wheel overlap during a trackstand (on a 12 speed bike), and one because of trying to dodge some stupid pedestrians at low speed. and i fell off and fucked my knee last weekend doing a one footed no-hand trackstand cos i lost balance and forgot that i was supposed to pull my foot backwards rather than sideways... twisted my knee and landed right on it... partly cos I use clipless at least 5 days a week so pull the foot out sideways instinctively.
oh man, it hurt so bad, i couldnt walk for ages. serious pain.
with normal riding though, i am fine with them.
