I’ve been running clipless pedals for 15 years and can never go back. Even riding on platform pedals I get a "naked" feeling like I’m not in connection with my bike.
A bike shop owner asked my friends and I once, "if you could keep only one thing on your bike while giving up the rest of the gizmos what would it be." It didn’t take us long to decide we would all keep our clipless pedals!
I think if you try it, you’ll really like it.
