I've been riding clipless for the last few years, not as much confidence for doing three line wheelies. what I want are 'campus' pedals which are platforms with SPD cleats, so I can run clipless or clipped. I think I'd fall on my ass pedaling platforms.

I ride clipless on the road bike, but usually flats on the mtn bike. Too many crazy stunts here for me to run clipless down the hills. That and a few years ago I was nailed by a soccer mom driving a minivan, and tore a bunch of tendons in my ankle. The exact ones I use to clip out, easy enough to do onthe road when I have time, not so much trying to avoid a tree.

oh man...
never really been hit before, it'll be my turn someday. I try to keep these stories in mind when I ride. I almost got hit last week, the fuqr's hood was under my left handlebar, I could feel the engine heat on my leg.
what happened? it's good to learn from others.

Hey Tarekith , Tone
I got hit once on my old road bike by a car coming around a corner (cutting me off without indicating...ignoring my lights)
I luckily saw it coming and i put my weight on pedal on the other side from the oncoming car.
The car collected me by the back derailleur just as it was coming to a stop.
Luckily , i just slid with it , hopped off and got away with a slightly bent back derailleur.
I was on the way to a gig , so i just yelled something and kept going.
It kind of made me think that when your number is up , you are going to get nailed.
I ride to all my gigs , don't have a car.
n-do

Tarekith, did the van take your seat too? Or did you just put in on a new bike.
Re: OT: Cycling ... as in... riding bikes... as in... bicycles
nasty looking crash Tarekith!
I don't wanna know were the seat ended up

I figure this is good place to post this. My latest song was a tribute to a dear friend who was killed two weeks ago while bicycling in New York City. It's called The Bicycle Philosopher:
