Hi all! I have owned a Trek Hybrid bike and have been road biking and taking tours with it for quite some time. Purchased an all carbon road bike and I have literally lost sleep and lots of anxiety about the clip pedals and shoes. To me, not worth the stress and anxiety. What I worry about is a deer jumping out, chipmunk, or sudden red light/stop made by a vehicle. I have no problem clipping out of my clips...... What I fear is when I put my foot down on the pavement, because there is no rubber on the shoe for better/firmer grip on the pavement, I fear having to stop. Seriously. I am ready to take the all American bicycle pedals off my Hybrid and put on the road bike so I can go back to relaxing and having fun riding! Is that OK to do, or is it some "OMg, look at what that person has done". Will I honestly lose THAT much power, etc? I have climbed crazy steep hills on my Hybrid and it has never bothered me. Please help! Thank you!
