    Yes, they are quite death-defying...for lamers who lack
    coordination.

    JD

    Lamers Who Lack Coordination (LWLCs) are exactly the type
    of people who seem to gravitate towards toeclips. They
    have this weird idea that toeclips are safer and easier to
    use than clipless pedals.

    I work in a bike store. The only riders I've seen buy
    toeclips there are LWLCs and Retro-Grouch Kooks (RGKs).
    For the most part, the RGKs are also LWLCs.

    - Boyd S.

    Certain trails parts of the country ( U.S. ) have soils
    that contain substances that are extremely abrasive to
    clipless pedals (i.e. Bentonite) that can destroy a good
    pair of clipless pedals . I use toeclips there and when
    commuting to work . When commuting to work , the toeclips
    eliminite the need of carrying an extra pair of shoes . And
    , with some practice , are as easy to disengage as clipless
    . Been doing this for 25 years and the toeclips DON'T get
    clogged with snow in the winter .

    YESSSSSSS!!!!!! Nothing like when a plan comes together, as

    This could be the new elitist criterion for AMB -- You're
    nobody until you've been KF'd by Boyd Sphinchtershitter.
    Either that or you've got to provide photographic evidence
    of successful rock garden navigation while using toe-clips.
    Upon entry into this elite group, you will be sent an
    obligitory pair of token toe clips paid for by the AMB
    subscription fee. Granted this would be a far cry from the

    They don't disengage as easily as clipless when it is most
    important, ie. when you are crashing, especially over the
    handlebars. With clipless, any good violent jolt to the
    side, or even sort of to the side) is enough to disengage
    them. Yes, you could ride the toe-straps lose. But then
    what's the point?
