    Yes that would work well too I think.

    Some people get one foot unclipped but then fall over to the other side when coming to a halt... a little trick about this issue I learned when trying to get used to "extracting" my foot from my straps is this- as you approach a stop and get one foot out, it really helps to stand up and forward out of the saddle as you are stopping- it gives you much more "leaning control" than if you coast to a stop while still sitting in the saddle. As you start braking, rise up and forward, off the saddle, so you can come right down on your loose foot instead of waiting and trying to make the bike lean when it is actually almost stopped. Hope I've described this well enough...
