the information is all here, you will probably be pilloried if you carry on asking questions about the very basics
simply put riding without foot retention is very likely to send you flying when you try to stop
there is also a good chance of a pedal coming back round and taking a chunk out of your shins
ade, that video is not helpful, akrigg is more than a little bit talented and can get away without foot retention
