SPDs can be dialed down to basically zero release tension, to the point that tiny children could use them. I sometimes encounter these feather-release settings when I test-ride customers' bikes, and am frankly amazed they can stay clipped in at all... just rolling out of the parking lot, I pull the cleat up and out of the pedal with a casual effort.
