I mean I might have some Damascene conversion on these things, but I've been biking since the 70s and I've been doing fine without them. Like Eddie Merkx never used them.I got clips in my late 30s, its not so much about speed, its more about being able to push and pull
it's about what you find fulfilling.I probably sound like an idiot, but it makes sense to me.
I rode flat pedals on my commuter. If the commuter was out of action I'd take one of the racers so would use clips. I never felt comfortable using them in the city. Going for my long weekend spins I couldn't imagine not being clipped in.I mean I might have some Damascene conversion on these things, but I've been biking since the 70s and I've been doing fine without them.

Do you guys all use clips for like biking into town?
Like 98% of the people there had wetsuits on for the swim. I didn't.
And everyone I know was saying "Oh you'll be faster, the suits give you so much buoyancy" etc.
This is not what I'm looking to achieve. Or it's not where I want to get advantage.

All that said, I'm running a half marathon in May and I need a 1:30 at it. I'll be buying those stupid Nike clown shoes for it because I need the time to qualify for a bigger race.
Yeah but it’s not a feeling like “vinyl has a warmth to the sound that’s not there on digital”. The bike fully becomes an extension of your body. The novelty of being the sandals guy at the triathlon is great and all but you’ll honestly enjoy the long cycles so much more if you switch over.Lads, if it's just all about a feeling, then I feel pretty okay already tbh
I appreciate all the contributions on the subject.
I still feel a little stupid and Luddit sticking to my ancient ways, but I guess that's all part of being old.
Ah, I've done long cycles. Did Copenhagen to Berlin. Tralee to Dublin. Provincetown to Boston. And enjoyed them all.Yeah but it’s not a feeling like “vinyl has a warmth to the sound that’s not there on digital”. The bike fully becomes an extension of your body.

How about you just photoshop in some pedal straps as a sop, @Deadmanposting?
