    I always unclip on the same side, and have not had a standing crash even when the camber of the road is not favourable, or when on a hill.
    I'm well impressed you can do this RF... I dooubt it will ever be one of my proficiencies though
    Actually, a lot of roadies do this, and most all mountain bike riders using clipless pedals do. Mountain bikers on technical terrain must be able to unclip out of either foot at moment's notice....they don't have a choice. If you mountain bike, this is automatically carried over when you're on your road bike. This is a good skill to have as roadies.....you will sometimes encounter situations where you have no choice but to click out of the 'other' foot.

    Yeah... my partner can...but I just confuse myself.

    I can absolutely see the necessity of doing it on a mountain bike - you would have to be prepared and able to unclip either foot at any moment - but I have never really mountain biked per se... just a bit around the farm and I don't have clips on those pedals!
