    Clipless vs Platform Pedals

    I gave up on them with commuting and always on and off the bike. Walking is fine, though I used to have some Shimano sandals that worked well. I tried the new ones, and it sucked. with these big ass pedals now I can use any shoe for the weather without my feet bending...

    getting a regular bike after my battery fails?

    nope sorry. The only difference between the two beside tiitanium is you can use ascrew to get rid of the second click.

    getting a regular bike after my battery fails?

    if you hold the button but not click it it will multi shift too. it takes practice but its a lot less effort on my thumb. so I have the click do a lot mroe shifting if I need it fast.
