Marina, before I zip out of here for the day I thought I would quickly jump in. I feel better unclipping well before I stop. So when I unclip I coast with my leg down off the pedal and ready to come to a complete stop. Actually my husband and girlfriend do this also. This also gives anyone behind you a heads up that you are coming to a stop and anyone behind me knows I am stopping. If I need to unclip my left foot for any reason, I don't do it until I am stopped and my right foot is already on the ground.

Come to think of it, my brothers girlfriend does the same thing and I have seen other cyclists stopping this way.

If this sounds confusing just let me know.

Ok...off I go. A days work is done for me.
