Yes, I'm in Waterford, CT. Niantic is the next town over (part of East Lyme). I think the toe straps are great! :) I've ridden clipless (mountain, mostly), and find I prefer clips & straps.

Nice Raleigh -- I don't understand. . .

. . . why these bikes get tossed. This is an early 80s American Raleigh Olympian Mixte. I think it's a beautiful bike, post clean-up.

What do you make of the ROSS on the seat tube? I'm confused by that. I searched for British Ross & didn't get anywhere. Armstrong was apparently purchased by Raleigh around 1960?
