Clips and straps on all my bikes. Lyotard platform pedals on the PX-10 I ride to work so any shoe/sneaker fits fine. All other rides I have an old pair of Patrick's anyone remember them?) with nice wood soles. I also have a set of NOS Duegi's that I have in my NOS goody box - hope to someday build up a bike around a very special frame with each of the items in it - that'll be the first time I'll use those shoes.
