p.s.-I like the rim brake T-shirt btw....

And for pleasure trips, I've changed back to platform pedals on 3 bikes and toe clips on one.

For business trips though- strictly clipped in.
I was jsut being a smart azz

I still have tow clips on my old Casati. Trouble is, I can't seem to find any show that will work. I have an old pair Sidi retrofitted with 10 speed drive's slotted cleats. the turn buckles keep getting in the way of the clip. I can't ride if the strip isn't tightened.

You guys will have fun with the old cranks that meet up once a month at the RoseBowl with their old bikes. They are all decked out in their 50-70s outfits along the the itchy wool jerseys and wood shorts. I remember those hard chamois after washing. Rub a ton of chamois cream to get it to soften up in the winter months.

I don't do much pleasure ride but once every year or two. We hop on the old mtb that has platform pedals and do the fun ride. I still have mtb clipless on my bike, but the Shimano mtb shoes are falling apart after 20 years of sitting in the same old box.
