I don't like to ride without anything to hold my feet on the pedals. A good
compromise that works fine is to just use toe clips without the straps. Not
sure if you can do that with plastic toe clips, but the chromed metal ones work
fine like that. It's the best, non-extremist way to keep your feet reasonably
free without having them slip around on the pedals.Half clips work the same way.
