I was wondering why this thread was even an issue. I was taught to unclip while the stoker remained clip and set the pedals. I use a wide stance with both feet on the ground and can sit on the tuptube and support the bike an stoker without any hands. When it's time to go, it's fast cause the pedals are set in the right place. I really don't see an "amibextrous" issue here. But it adds to the thread count in this forum.
