Im not sure if I would use clips. My Redline crusier doesnt have them and Im sure if I trained a bit I could beat many riders my age (not top riders) even if they have them. NO Dave I couldnt beat you even if I trained darn it!
But I cant try clips as I live with a torn ACL and my knee goes out way to easy to chance clips. I have Insurance but the surgery means going on disability and filling out forms and I dont even know where to start on all that.
