I have been using clips and straps since God was a baby and don't even have to think about getting in and out of them... and have had one sketchy moment when I was using clipless in traffic.

Pulled up behind a car in rush hour and had un-clipped as I rolled up behind a minivan and when I went to put my foot down somehow managed to hit my pedal on the way down and accidentally clipped back in at 0 speed.

Did not go down but out of pure reflex, popped a wheelie and grazed the back window of the van as I pulled the bike right and over and then bunny hopped the curb to get up on the boulevard.

I got applause from some bystanders so guess my cool factor was not affected.
