Back in the day (or today, if you run with the hipster fixie crowd), platform pedals could be outfitted with cages with straps to help attach the foot more securely to the pedal - toe clips. New integrated shoe/pedal attachments developed in the 70's eliminated the toe clips and became "clipless", which is definitely confusing since they're obviously more "clips" than the old toe clips were.

Welcome to the development of the English language...
