Depends on what and where you are riding. I'm a swapper myself. Average days I
ride sad. But if I know I am doing highly technical or big jumps, drops where
I want more freedom, I ride flats. I rode spd for 10+ years and when I had to
make the change to flats, I had a terrible time, almost like I couldn't ride
any more. Riding flats tought me to really ride my bike again without being so
lazy. That's why I think swapping back and forth is best. There is a lot to be
learned riding flats, and when you take that skill and ride clipped in, you
can be that much better and faster.
