Well, yesterday was my first "clipless" ride. It may be my last. I was tense during my whole ride, having to think and anticipate each time I would have to unclip before a stop. But what happens when one can't anticipate a stop and has to stop on a dime. I did fine until I reached home. My driveway is on a slight hill and when I got to it, I managed to unclip my left foot but didn't do so well with my right, which is the side that I step down on. Needless to say, over I went, twisting my foot, with my bike on tip of me. I am limping badly. My foot is grotesquely swollen and I am not so sure I want to try this again.

My husband tells me that I need to unclip both sides at once but that means having your pedals in just the right position. Should I be concentrating just on my right foot, the one that I step down on? Any advice? I need motivation.
