If you know how to track stand, slow down, stop, unclip is just as easy as slow down, unclip, stop. And track stands impress the opposite sex...okay. okay. It makes them think you're a dweeb but in your own mind, you'll be a rock star!

In answer to snorkel's original question, I like Shimano M520. Tough, cheap, two sided, easy to get into and out of. Just set the tension low and make sure the cleat is tight on the shoe. I've never tried Crank Brother's pedals because I have to many bikes to retrofit.
