I tried "clipless" pedals, but they weren't for me. Never got used to not being able to place my foot in a diff. position on the pedal, if I wanted. And never felt comfortable being clipped in. Now using flat pedals with "pins" on my road, as well as my mtn.bike. Not saying one is superior to the other, that is another debate. Use which you choose and you feel is best. To be fair, I should state that I rode a mtn.bike (using flats with pins) for decades before owning a road bike. Might have something to do with my choice of type of pedal.
