    That’s why I asked, I’ve never seen anyone do it before. Pretty much for exactly that reason.

      I rode clipless pedals for mountain bike racing (cross country). It is so much more efficient and they have shoes with thicker soles and deep treads which makes them more comfortable to walk in.

      They also make jumping over small obstacles and rocks easier and safer.

        Yep. I just use the clips with the smallest degree of pop out…works great and I never noticed being “delayed” to get my foot out and onto the ground if I need it. Even in some VERY time sensitive situations

      I would never ride without being clipped in, maybe 100 yards to the shop and back but other then that clipless is much much better. Used then for about 20 yeaes now. Took about 2 weeks to get used to from memory.

      It’s definitely common among more hardcore/serious cyclists.
