-Clipless isn't for everyone.  It's easy to get stuck in one's pedals when you desperately need to put a foot down.  SPD's small cleats are notoriously tricky to reengage quickly when you're bouncing downhill.  They're useless when you've forgotten to bring your "special shoes."((There are a number of dual flat/clipless pedals which have a single cleated side with a flat back to allow to days when your cycling shoes aren't about.))  They cost more.  There's a learning curve, which isn't too steep but will involve a few foot faults and scrapes at your first stop sign.
