Screw the Shimano clipless for anything but long XC rides, just had my first ride tonight on platforms and I love it. Was too chicken to jump stairs with my feet tied to the bike before, it's a whole new world now!

The uphills ARE more work, but it's definitely worth it when you need to drag a foot or hit the eject button. Too cool.

ya i dont usually use my clips on rides under 1:30

Having done both, there is no reason to do urban on clips.

I have some snafu flats that I use for freeriding, and Welgo clips for any real XC rides.

My thoughts to a tee :beer:
I feel that climpless has no place on a bike when there is a 50% or more chance your going to bail........
I have clipless on my XC bike and platforms on my Azonic.......
