Nonsense!  I commute to work daily with cleats and am sure many others do
so also.  Before moving here, I lived in NYC for 8 years and used cleats
in the city traffic regularly, preferrably on a track bike.  Why do you
suppose someone proposed a track-stand contest at a red light?  One learns
it on all kinds of bikes when using them.  I never had a problem in traffic
as a result of having cleats.		G. Tomasevich
