bike fitting has been a work in progress but everytime i make an adjustment it feels a lot better. first was the seat (measured inseam and used a calculator) then the handlebars (pretty much all the way down) and is now very very comfortable despite the saddle being kind of stiff compared to the big squishy seats i rode when i was a kid

the current pedals are steel and pointy, and (with the exception of riding down a big hill and losing track of the pedals) straps or clips seem super tedious and inconvenient- maybe even a little dangerous. like turning a skateboard into a snowboard. (though im happy to be mistaken)
what do i do at stoplights? im not a roadbike nut who rides marathons, just a regular guy who thinks fixie bikes are neat and rides to work and to the supermarket and back. 99% of my riding will be in town. i wear normal shoes and normal clothes. do i really need foot retention? and is there a way to make it work for an everyday commute/supermarket bike?
