I say this as someone who cycles too. Anyone worth their salt on the bike knows that 95% of the sport is the engine. Guys using gear from the 80's will still compete in and come out near the top of local races if they are good.
Any cyclist that actually has some time in the saddle would never say they are someone who "cycles too". May as well call yourself a jogger.
Which comment of mine would you like to be further explained?

Expensive anything is a gimmick. Clipping in is not. Cycling, especially racing, is a lot more dynamic than putting out the same constant power for a given time on an indoor turbo trainer. Racing cyclists have been using foot retention for a long, long time. Clipless pedals just make it easier.
What ?
It's true. Big platform pedals and pretty normal shoes is just as efficient.
