I don't see how it's comfortable, or even safe, to unclip when your foot is up by your knee! I've had to unclip in the 12 position in emergency stops, but it feels totally wrong and awkward. I've been riding for 12 years or so and while I'm not an expert, I wouldn't teach anyone this way. Of course, people need to do what works for them, but it just seems like it would put most people off balance.

Just the opposite for me ... I can't see how it would be comfortable or safe to unclip at 6:00! To me, I would be at high risk of weighting the pedal and reclipping, as well as off balance and committed to putting my foot down. But if that's what works for someone else ... whatev'!
