[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you attach your feet to the pedals of a bike in an urban area? That sounds so dangerous.[/quote] 1. You can go faster - plenty of places in this area where you don't need to unclip for a long stretch 2. It makes it easier to lift your pedal into the optimal position when you are stopped. Also helpful 3. Some bikes come with the pedals set for that, and if you want to ride flat pedals you need to change them - which a recreationl rider new to bike commuting might not have done yet 4. Its not that hard to unclip. Lots of riders who ride clipped in manage to unclip regularly. But in most of those places it not necessary to dismount and walk the bike. [/quote]
