One thing I've found about riding SPDs, I can pick up the rear end of the bike by hopping. So its a two-stage
front *hup* on the handlebars immediately followed by *hurf* up on the pedals. I mostly do this on abrupt changes in pavement height or potholes, but I think it'd be good for railroad tracks too. Definitely one of those
things to practice at low speed first, though
