I have clipless pedals, and like them a lot. I have shoes that you can actually wear indoors too -- the cleat is in a groove down the middle of the shoe, and there's enough rubber in the sole around it that you can walk around without the cleat digging into the ground. Much; they scrape a little on hard surfaces like stone, and I'd worry about them on nice hardwood floors. But you can wear them into a restaurant, or a supermarket, or whatever, which is nice. I have a small bag on a rack over the rear wheel where I can stick a pair of real shoes, although that works particularly well with Birks or Fivefingers, which are nice and flat -- my boots wouldn't fit into that bag. (But they do fit into my panniers, so that works well enough for me.)
