I know a lot of people like clipless. I just don't want to invest in new shoes/pedals and then there's the fact that I do stop at every stop sign/light (unlike most of the clipless people I see). I rode with power grips for a while but even those got annoying for me. I saw some magnetic clipless on kickstarter which looked interesting but they are way expensive right now. The pushing down wouldn't be a problem if I didn't roll to the edge of my foot on the one side.
