Clip-Ins Vs. Straps

I've recently swapped to clips and straps, after a painful cleat failure* incident which involved shoulder barging a transit van to 'scrub' some speed.

I have clips/single straps now and can't feel any difference in power transfer. The only issue is that I don't like the idea of being stuck in the pedals if you cr_sh, but otherwise they feel really secure. For the same reason you (well, I) can't just slip your foot off the pedal when you're filtering through traffic or want to bail on a trackstand. I guess you get used to that though, it's only been a couple of months.

Whatever. Try both and pick the one you like.

*failure to replace in time :(

i've heard this from alot of people, and i had the same thing when i started riding with clips and straps, but when you get used to them its second-nature. super super easy. same as struggling to flip the pedal over and get your foot in. after a while you don't even have to think about it.
