Cleat release-which direction do you?

Heel out for me cuz I'm a Froggie fan.

It's really a gentle movement, quick, and pretty isolated to the ankle.

I move my heel out. I think if I tried moving it inward, I'd just run into my crankarm. I want to move my leg outward anyway to clear the bike and step down.

For me it's heel in with the right foot, out with the left foot.

Due to scar tissue in my right ankle from surgery on a tendon back in '93, it hurts to go heel out with my right foot.

But the guys at the LBS told me that heel out was the correct way to go.

Maybe I should have just made this a poll.

Make sure you include a "freak" option for me!

I will

How long have you been doing that?
Do you ever forget?

Heel out.

And much to my husband's horror I have to unclip with the left or I fall over. He is convinced I am going to wreck one day because I can't unclip right and lean right. I couldn't figure out how to tie my shoe laces until I was almost 7 (even then only the two bunny ear method for a couple more years), didn't ride a bike until I was 9 (not for lack of trying) and still can't swim worth a dang. I really don't think he should push the issue on anything athletic or physical, if I am riding clipless that is enough. I also have to have my Look Keos on the loosest setting possible, for me if I can't just pop out it is too tight.

I have always been a freak.
