Don't do this just because it's cool or your buddies tell you it's the right way. I did centuries using platform pedals. Yes, they make riding more efficient but you probably won't tell a difference, unless you make yourself believe there is a difference.

I think I've got it down now. This whole thread was just me trying to figure out what was an ideal way to stop. I am not physically unable to perform any of these recommendations such as coasting with a foot out and all the other things mentioned. I just thought asking would be better than falling a dozen times to learn on my own.

To the guy who has never fallen in his life, good for you, congratulations, please check your browser menu for an internet cookie. Feel better?
