So glad you avoided any hint of this kind of travesty (comment is purely personal opinion/aesthetic; people can and should do whatever they want with their bikes):
Thanks! Oh my, I am not a fan of how that bike looks.

I like them or clipless because they allow you to basically forget where your feet are. You can pedal super fast, stand up, corner aggressively, all the while being relaxed that your feet wont slip off. They look cool too. Especially these styles.
I've read that toe clips + straps are the worst pedal retention system available. That's just what I've read. I've never actually rode a bike with them installed.
If I were to upgrade my pedals and my only reason for doing so is to make sure my feet stays in place when spinning, I would most likely go for Power Grips first, Click'r pedals second. If I didn't have a bad knee, I would probably be riding with clipless pedals today.

Oh right, the color scheme looks very similar!
