That's exactly my point! Its something than can be learned! The sad thing is that most people never spend enough time trying to learn it. They're comfortable with just being able to unclip and come to a gradual stop. Unclipping "on the fly" is an entirely different skill that can also be learned. Its not the pedal's fault that you didn't invest time into learning it. Unless you're living in an hectic place like NYC, its not a skill that you'd be using very often so for many people there isn't much incentive to learn. It doesn't make you a bad rider or anything, you just need to let go of this idea that clipless pedals hinder your responsiveness due to their intrinsic design.
