    If you want to put your left foot down, slow, unclip left, turn your bars slightly to the right to initiate a left lean, then put your foot down.
    Hmmm. I also put my left foot down but I turn my handlebars towards the foot I'm unclipping, not to the right. That way the bike is leaning toward the foot that is going down.

    I tried both of these approaches, and fell over equally quickly I suspect that when I am unclipped that my body is doing something that I am not catching, which is why I was falling yesterday. It is easy enough to unclip both feet until I figure out what else might be going on - as long as I don't have to stop for an emergency Until I am confident that I can stop without falling over - no major hills and I won't leave the park (thankfully it is a large park with multiple driving/riding roads).

    Time to go play now
