>>i'm just curious what type of riding background the flat-zealots come from. my guess - bmx/trial/dh with a lot of years riding under their belt?<<
No backround in BMX/Trials/DH. I've ridden mountain bikes in NJ since 1983, most of that time with foot retention. When I first started riding singlespeed, probably in the late 90's, I went back and forth between foot retention or not for a couple of years. It actually took a lot of riding and several years before I felt as comfortable on BMX flats as clipped or strapped in. At that point I completely gave up foot retention. If I ever start riding multi-geared again I'll have to decide if I want to again try clipless, but for singlespeed it's a no brainer for me. (read my last post if you want to know why I prefer BMX flats)
Zealots...huh? That's what the clipless users are....a bunch of suzie boy, pantyhose wearing, dogmatic, believe anything the marketers write ZEALOTS! Religious fanatics, just like the riders who use multi-gears, suspension and deodorant.
