So I tried clipless this weekend... 6.5 mile loop with, same 6.5 mile loop without. I have to admit, I do see the advantages, but, for my riding style and preferences, The disadvantages out weigh the advantages. Really, it came down to not being able to pivot on the pedals in loose and gnarly turns without coming unclipped or straining my ankles. I realized I intentionally move my feet around a decent amount when things get hairy. My feet can be so much more dynamic on flats. I liked them in the flat, flowy sections, they felt solid. I see why you Lycra folks are all about them. Bottom line, its flats for me! At least I was able to get some solid side by side testing in to know for sure. Thanks again, Felix, for letting me barrow the goods!
