If a new guy can offer his $0.02 on the matter (a little late to the game, sorry), I personally can’t stand clipless pedals and wouldn’t trade my cages for anything. I’ve used them for 16 years and I can come out of them faster than I ever could with clipless pedals. My story: I dislocated my kneed badly in January of 2006 when I took a bad fall on a road bike with clipless pedals…I didn’t come out fast enough and landed smack on my left kneecap (horrible sound, excrutiating pain).

That being said, it’s a personal choice….my choice is to never use them because of that fear. I’d rather go endo (which I’ve also done) than wreck my knee again. My uncle, an Ironman competitor, uses nothing but clipless pedals and swears by them. To each their own…find what works best for you. 😀
