Importance of foot retention
Sup guys, how important do you think foot retention is for road bikes? Someone I ride with has been bugging me to get clipped in. I thought it was just for speed but apparently it's for safety as well because my feet could slip off the pedals at an intense pace? This doesn't really make sense to me, but do people crash because of that? How much better are the clipless things than just leather straps.
i was under the impression that foot retention is really only important when standing up sprinting but I'm clueless. I've never used it, am I missing out?
