    I echo the others who say to get outside and moving - it's a lot easier than being in a confined space.
    One other thing, DON'T LOOK DOWN at your feet when you do it!!! If you do, you'll swerve all over and crash and fall - I know from experience
    I also rest my foot on the pedal after I unclip until I'm ready to put it down - I just put my foot a little further up so the pedal rest towards the middle/back half of my foot. Sometimes my cleats will re-click in, so I try to keep the cleat just in front of the pedal so I dont reclip in.

    Also, don't forget your brakes! When you are clipping in, have full control of the bike and be ready to brake so it doesn't roll away before you are ready! When you unclip/stop make sure you are in control before you release the brake. If you focus, pay attention and have control of the bike, you will do fine! Also, try to get a pattern going where you always clip in starting with the same foot every time, and clip out on the opposite foot every time.
