I overcame my fear of cleats in 1990, and have ridden with them ever since.
I used to bike everywhere. In grad school, I didn't have a parking pass. But I lived about 4 miles from campus. Rain or shine, I biked. Even did a lot of my grocery shopping on the way home.
I haven't been on my bike in years (still have it). It has toe clips. Same idea: feet can't fall off the pedals easily, and I can actually pull up on the one leg as the other is pushing down. Allowed me to walk in my regular shoes when I did a grocery stop (or, for that matter, going to my various classes).
If we ever move someplace less harsh, with bike paths, I may start riding again. Too hot here, and the drivers are too aggressive with highly inadequate bike lanes.
