Clipless pedals are very dangerous. I've been riding bicycles continuously since I was 5. Have even commuted to work year-round in suburb north of NYC, Had been using Shimno clipless pedals for about 10 years and had several occasions when I couldn't release from the pedal and dumped over. The last time, at age 58, caused my right hip to fracture. I needed 2 surgeries and 6 months of rehab. After the accident I found out about two other cyclists who suffered hip fractures because they couldn't release from their pedals. Needless to say I took them off my Trek and will never use them again. The Pain was not worth the gain. Warning!!!

Lets hope publishing it on the web gets more people appreciating it. Does that mean my copy of The Ride Journal is a collectors item now? A very good article, well written.
