Clipless Pedal Commuters?

Hello all..
Been cycling for a few years now and was commuting 12 miles each way on a relatively quiet countryside A road throughout all weathers with no issues. Been in London for about a year now, I was using my motorcycle until it was stolen in November from my garage and I have now lost interest in purchasing another for now so I will start cycling next week.
I seem to see no one using clipless pedals, I cannot imagine cycling now without them although I am considering swapping the SL's for some mountain bike SPD's as they are easier to walk in.
What are most people here using? My route will be Wimbledon to Farringdon.
Cheers
Lee

I've been tempted to try flats over the winter though so I can wear comfier shoes, but I ride in full Lycra get up so I'd look like a right wally. Might give it a whirl in the summer and wear baggies for a day or two.

I will go to my LBS this weekend and grab a set of SPD pedals and MTB shoes
But then I break #14, #18, #32 (cos it's a good riding backback), #34 and #35 every day I ride, and those are the ones I'm aware off... :oops:
Bike 1 (Broken) - Bike 2(Borked) - Bike 3(broken spokes) - Bike 4( Needs Work) - Bike 5 (in bits) - Bike 6* ...
I use SPD-SL quite often but am very good at trackstanding. They would be a complete nightmare to use if I weren't.

Click clipped out SPD SL KEOs
only good reason to for SPD, cleats never wear out unless you are a clog hoofed munter and you can walk in them less like a fkn duck
I reckon some of you just need to get a bus into work
I'm clumsy enough without anything else making it worse! Your not the only person to tell me that either, oh, colleagues, and doctors have suggested the same ;-)

Most people wear regular clothes & ordinary shoes.
Some people wear lycra cycling clothes... and ordinary trainers, very occasionally with toeclips.
I wear ordinary clothes... and SPDs!
I just think it's funny, many people think that to be a cyclist you need the lycra, but shun the most important performance-safety kit they could have.
