Pedals... are flats ok?

I find it's pretty ironic that the 'clipless' pedal need to be 'clipped' in to connect your shoes to the pedal, whether the 'clip' pedal only need to push your feet in the toeclips, there's no 'clips' really, just tightening the strap to secure your feet in the pedal.

Like rain on your wedding day, eh Ed?
