I'm not sure that I understand this. And I am interested because, ever since I got new pedals and shoes, clipping/unclipping has been an issue for me.

In this case the only thing that would have helped would have been unclip on both sides before stopping. Is that what you are recommending? It takes a lot of force to get out of my pedals right now. And that is the bigger issue vs. just practice getting out of one or the other. But quite frankly, given how quickly my personal incompetence set in here, I don't see a solution to that specific scenario other than always unclipping both sides (not obviously unreasonable but not my personal habit). Or maybe a stop at my LBS to see if something needs to be done (beyond what I have done) regarding clip tension.

Thanks!
