There are many riders who can NOT conceive of going for a bike ride without their clipless shoes, jersey, the whole kit. How sad! I mean...there isn't anything wrong with wearing your kit to go on a serious bike ride. But for a short ride, you wind up spending more time dressing and undressing than you do riding. Plus, the kit is just stupid for many rides.
Example: I'm a bike safety instructor and I teach bike traffic safety, typically to 5-7 grades. We ask for parent volunteers to tag along at the end of a line of 8-12 students. We make it very clear that we will be riding slowly, stopping often for instruction, etc. You would be amazed at how many volunteers show up in full kit and clipped in. They just can't envision an easy ride in regular clothes, no matter how appropriate for the situation.
