count me in for a retro race. those of you newer cross types who dismount,
then pass your right foot between your left leg and frame (assuming
left-side dismount) would probably do fine with toeclips. expect endos
from the plant-right-foot-outside-left-leg crowd :) once you have it down,
you can actually dismount pretty damn fast in toeclips.
