Toe clips are really not all that hard to get used to.  When I got
my first 12-speed a few years ago, I had the opportunity to try an
emergency escape on my way home from the store.  I was riding down
Washington Street in Brighton, (part of Boston) and got my tires
caught in the out-of-service trolley (street-car) tracks.  I was
still moving forward, but could no longer steer.  I hopped out
without any trouble, and haven't worried about the toe-clips
since.  They are very useful for hill-climbing; I would recommend
them for anyone who does any touring.
