Ha! I should have set aside half an hour on a grassy field when I started. I arrived at work, my co-workers coming in from the parking lot, tried to pull my shoe off the pedal (doing it the wrong way), couldn't and fell (ungraciously). LOL
It is good to practice and be aware that when you're approaching a known stop, sign or light, unclip your right foot well before you need to and coast to the stopping point. You can always dial the tension so that it is easiest for you to unclip your shoe.
