Thanks for this entire thread! I rode 10 extra miles last summer b/c I was afraid to stop and HOPE TO UNCLIP. I would always FALL! Not only did I look for grass, but I would try and pedal through the small, grassy area to search for a higher spot to rest my LEFT clip-less foot. I finally got my own tools, and made the Look tension as loose as possible. My new goal is to learn to unclip and DISMOUNT QUICKLY to the RIGHT, so that I lean away from any traffic. I train on back country roads to avoid traffic, so that I can concentrate on technique. I finally figured out that stopping and then hoping to unclip defies the laws of physics.
Good luck!
QUESTION: would WD40 work like White Lightening?
