What are the benefits of using toe clips and straps on a road bike?

Using toe clips and straps on a road bike can provide better power transfer, increased efficiency in pedaling, and improved control over the bike. This setup allows the rider to pedal more effectively by securing the foot in place, resulting in a smoother and more powerful pedal stroke. Additionally, toe clips and straps can help prevent the foot from slipping off the pedal, especially during high-intensity rides or when riding in wet conditions.
