Interesting tip about clipping both feet out at the same time, MissLiz. I've never tried that but might give it a try for a laugh.

I should also practise unclipping with the other foot first. I always clip the left foot out first - habit I guess, and the fact our pavements our on the left hand side . Trying to do it with the other foot first would feel like trying to fold my arms the other way, but I really should be more ambi (... er... definitly can't spell that )
able to use both sides equally well.

By the way, Hibiscus, when I'm approaching traffic lights /coming up to a junction/ know when I'm going to have to stop, I quite often half click one foot out and carry on pedalling gently for a few turns as I approach stopping, so I'm ready to put my foot down and don't have to panic.
