1) If strapped properly and snugly, you would not be able to disengage from the pedal clip.

2) Stop using Nylon straps. BLS straps are booty. They just have a really good marketing and distribution campaign.

3) Nylon+Velcro straps in general are not superior to NJS style straps. Period. Nylon stretches. NJS straps do not. Period.

If you are concerned about pulling out, then install NJS straps behind the axle. On that note, any part of the strap that is in front of the axle does absolutely nothing to keep you in the back of the pedal.

If Hoy can ride with a single NJS strap and conquer the world...so can we
