Hey uforgot

Yep, I agree with fujigirl re the tension on the pedals. Have the clips on the easiest and loosiest setting. That makes a huge psychological difference in that you'll know it's a lot easier to get out of them. Then when you get better and more confident you can tighten them up, because if the tension is too loose, you might accidently unclip when you're cycling, and that can be a little disconcerting.

But for me, I always lean my bike on the side of my unclipped foot, it's closer to the ground then for the unclipped foot to rest on. (opposite to fujigirl!) But do what works. And I always unclip my left foot, I think it's because in Australia where I live, you drive on the left hand side of the road, and when there's a stop sign or red light, I always like to go right up to the kerb and rest my foot on the little ledge thing that sticks up so that I can keep my bike upright.

And don't worry about falling. EVERYONE does that. It just takes time to adjust, so don't be too hard on yourself.
