"That's also a false flag, because part of the problem is the refusal to look at exposure from a global level, so fatalities and census data (and local counts) are all you have to look at."

Charlie,

Maybe I mis-stated my question.  I thought when I said "clip-less" I was referring to shoes that were not attached to the pedals.  I have a pair of shoes now (Bontrager) that do attach to the pedals.  

Any suggestions?
