But there's something else....
Clipping in produces that wonderful feeling of being at one with the bicycle.
Flesh and frame become part of the same machine.
It's really only with clipless that cycling feels like flying.
Teachme - we know that you are new to this addictive world of dedicated cycling, but if you really want to have the whole experience......clipless.
As to your dissatisfaction with your speeds, it won't really be the pedals. You just haven't put in enough miles or enough hard miles yet.
