Feeling like a clipless idiot!

Excellent descriptions, tctrek. The only thing I'd add is to be careful of how you lean your weight as you come to a stop. I also unclip and stop with the left foot, but every now and then I'll accidentally lean my weight to the right as I put on the brakes.

Oh yeah.. the dreaded lean your bike to the right and roll away with it! That's how I ended up in a creek with mud up to my ankles the first time I rode clipless. Braked, left foot down, let go of the brake, leaned right, coasted into the creek It was humiliating, but a lesson well learned!!

Hehe... I've never ended up in a creek from leaning the wrong way, but I have done some funny dance moves

Leaning the wrong way is what got me this. And I'm still disappointed it didn't leave a scar.

That would've been a pretty scar. Looks almost like bird's wings.
