I was riding along a grade separated bike path, along the street. I needed to cross the street at the next intersection, so I stopped for the red light. I forgot to unclip and promptly fell over, partially blocking the rightmost lane of the street I was trying to cross.

It is very difficult to unclip when you're lying on your side and the bike is still between your legs. Especially when you have commuting gear in panniers, making the bike heavier. And especially when you're worried the next car might plow right over you. (fortunately for me, the next car stopped and waited instead of trying to manouver their way past)
