I find I have to think ahead (usually one pedal revolution!) then clip out. Have fallen twice, once in my own driveway (up hill) when first learning and on a footbridge. Strange bruises, lucky noone but my husband could see them
Hardest thing I have tried to learn was with our tri club we were trying to master getting your feet in and out of tri shoes while keeping the shoes clipped into the pedals. This is so you can run your bike faster through transition, rather than have to run in bike shoes. Could get my feet out and on top of the shoes, but getting them back in again was a bit much of a challenge.
Got Looks. Having first ride in about 4 weeks tomorrow and plenty of traffic lights in the first 5-6kms so will have to have my wits about me. Once I couldn't stop quick enough and upclip (I tend to click down thru the gears a bit so starting again isn't impossible) and had to roll around the corner then unclip! Opps.
