If you told me in 1975 that 20 years later I wouldn't be able to test-drive my buddy's bicycle because my feet would not work on his pedals, and I would have said that would be unthinkable!

And here we are, 32 years later ... and IMHO, the imcompatabilities created by clipless pedals are insanity personified.

Next up, some manufacturer will figure out a way to make gloves that only work with certain types of handlebars ... stupid, imho.
