I repeat - you can get float with traditional pedals by "massaging" the cleats. In fact, when clipless pedals first became available, that was a situation about which some of my friends complained. I.e. you could get a nice amount of float with clips and cleats, but the Look pedals of that era (and similar things) really locked your foot in place.

So I use Look pedals on my modern bikes for the sake of convenience. But I have no problems using cleats on my older bikes. But, as I mentioned, I've always modified the cleats a bit. Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia (USA)
