My feet and knees hate flats, the one bike they are on seldom comes off the rack.
Fine, but it appears the OP's body hates clip ins.
Roadies are hilarious.
They spend hundreds on special shoes and pedals which lock their feet into an unusable position.
They then spend hours trying to make pathetic mm adjustments in a bid to sort it.
It is all but certain if the OP used platforms, his feet and other bits of his body would no longer clout bits of the bike.
After all, we don't often get posts from riders on platforms complaining they cause unwanted contact with the bike.
