to be honest i think someone new to fixed is more likely to fall over clipped in/strapped in, as with the obligatory red light unclip fail
ultimately it must be the consumers choice, otherwise they could buy the whole bike minus pedals, then buy pedals w/o straps later and fit them themselves
it doesn't really make sense
people are more likely to complain that they fell off due to being strapped in after being forced into it
i'm all for foot retention btw :P
