Foot retention isn't the key to humanity's survival. Sure makes a fixed gear bike better though. Don't knock it till you try it.
And putting on special shoes to bike is half the fun.
What part of Columbus do you live in?
I've got clipless pedals on my fixed gear now. It gives more bike control but I didn't feel like it was a huge improvement. On my mountain bike though the difference was night and day. I'll definitely be going clipless only when riding the trails from now on.
