What did it turn out to be? My first season, when coming to a stop, I'd upclip R, get OFF the saddle then lean right. Never failed me once. The next year? I was staying seated and if I twitched too much L, over I went.
Now, back to the "slow, upclip, stand, stop" routine...not a problem.
Were you trying to stay on the saddle while stopped? That is a losing propostion for most folks. Best to come forward off the saddle to put your free foot down.
