I've had a couple of incidents when I first started riding 4 years ago with being clipped in.....I ended up on the ground a couple of times after starting off from the lights uphill - incorrect gear - not enough inertia - both feet clipped in - down she goes..........
Not verry happy at the time....but looking back on it now - very funny.
These pedals basically allow you to ride with almost any SPD shoe / runners - clipped in or unclipped.

Aah thats good they are weighted in favor of the cleats. Very handy. personally for me I prefer to chuck my clip shoes on when I ride, its just as much work chucking on runners as it is with my clip shoes, and seeing as I use MTB shoes with concealed cleats, I can still walk in them ok. Plus it gives me plenty of practice getting in and out of the pedals etc. Now I cant imagine riding without them.
