Worth it if you want to get lots of advice and perspectives.

Most importantly, practice on a flat area like a car park, or grass as its softer if you topple.

The best advice for unclipping and stopping I got right here on TE.

Always unclip with the same foot, and always turn your wheel away from the unclipped foot. This will ensure the bike leans towards you and elimnates you falling onto your clipped in side.

Its and easy habit to master, just need to practice a few times and get used to how it feels.

Have fun
I did read a lot about it, and I practiced at home before my commute today. Yet, I still managed to have a spill out on the road. I'm glad I don't embarass easily because I fell over at a red light in front of cyclists and drivers alike! Fortunately I just have a scraped knee, so no real damage done.

I have learned my lesson tho - unclip well before getting to the red light!
