FML. this started with some guy asking a retarded question that has been answered 12134 times already on this forum and has gone onto an even more tedious and even even more widely debated topic - foot retention.
If you want to be safe, use foot retention. If you want to be able to just jump on your bike, night or day, and not worry about changing shoes use clips. If you want the best in terms of performance, at the cost of having to wear cycling shoes, go clipless. If you're really keen, convert your trainers into SPD shoes. The end.
If anyone asks what shoes/ clips to buy, I'm going to cry. UTFS.
Looking back at this thread, DJ gave you a perfectly reasonable reply and you were way-over the top in rushing to have a go at him for getting on your case. Suggests to me that you have been cruising the threads, seeing other noobs get crushed, and decided that you want to make a stand.
Bear in mind that people have helped you, it's not like you have just been told to fuck off.
Long live DJ.
