Clips on a peloton bike don’t increase the risk of injury. Just the opposite, they make sure you don’t slip and fall or get a nasty gash.

And yes, clipping in on a bike improves the workout considerably. If you avoid just mashing down but instead move in more of a circle, you feel different muscles working. And when the instructor says to imagine driving your knees up like you’re trying to strike the bottom of an imaginary table, you really feel the backs of the legs.
