clicking in for speed and upstroke power ,riding unclicked around obsticles or where there is no bail out room like narrow roads woth dweebs in cars driving oit of control .The peddals and shoes are heavier but maybe thats a good thing for my ugly old legs plus they are cheaper and you can actually walk in the shoes for those miles you have to push the bike for those infuriating reasons .
