Right now I'm intending to bike commute only in moderately good weather (we don't often get snow that sticks, and the authorities are good at plowing and salting, so I think I may even be okay for most of winter), and I'm more afraid of getting my foot stuck and falling into traffic than having a foot slip off a pedal. (I haven't had a problem with that, maybe because I wear very grippy shoes.) Especially when traffic is so stop-and-go here. But I am hella impressed with people who can ride with clipless pedals!
