Slinkedog - My (unhelpful!) advice is just DON'T stop! Not only are you in danger of toppling over as you try to unclip, but you'll also find it soooooooo much harder to get started again - especially in a very low granny gear - your wheels will spin away with you. I find it much, much easier to slow right down and ease off even more, than to stop, dismount, remount and start off pedalling again - and whenever I have stopped, my legs never feel like they had a rest anyhow - and certainly don't thank me for the break.
