I understand where everyone is coming from in regards to the opposition of clips, I myself raced in the 80’s like many here, there was no clips (duh) but I now have 2 kids that race and both are clipped. NO big deal to me I guess it’s just the evolution of the sport, I can say that I do agree with someones comment earlier in this topic something on the lines of not being able to clip until expert or something like that, way too many rookies clipped that should first learn how to handle a bike.
