Riding clipless is similar to driving a car with a standard transmission. When you have to stop the car, you disengage the transmission by pushing the clutch. Likewise, with clipless, when you have to stop, you disengage the shoe from the pedal. As you get better at driving a standard transmission, it becomes automatic to use the clutch. You will notice the same automatic responses develop with your clipless pedals.

Good luck, stick with it.
