>>2043442Your post is absolutely retarded. Clipless solved the problemy you're citing.
Pulling up is a stupid myth too. No one does that shit and if people fall for the myth and try to focus on doing so the only changes they are making is that they now always have to ride consciously and also might hurt their joints because guess what: Ever since humans left trees their legs only ever faced compression forces as selective pressure. Pretty sure evolution since made enough changes for those joints to now be compression only.
Clips and clipess have nothing (or very little, save for situations when starting in innappropiately large gears or climbinv very steep) to do with pulling up. But without you can hardly even sprint. I would rather argue going with neither clips, clipless or fixielarp-straps, is the actually dangerous idea ever since clipless solved the slotted cleat:
Say its raining out, maybe some ice slush and those kinds of conditions. Pedals become slippery, cold makes the soles of shoes a bit harder, ice and grime gets in between shoe and pedal, you sprint for a bit, dang now your foot slips off the pedal, slams into the ground at 50, pedal bites you in the calf but that doesnt matter since a split second later youre a complete trainwreck anyways.
