I did something similar about a year ago, only I didn't have any wind to blame it on. I just came to a stop at a red light and was careless - unclipped my left foot and ended up falling to my right with my right foot clipped in. it was a large intersection with cars on all sides looking at me. How embarrassing. I've been riding clipped in for 10 years and had only done that once 10 years ago, the first week I ever rode clipped in.
