Now I try to be more careful not to lean the bike on the foot that is still clipped but when that foot is on the bottom of the pedal stroke when you're stopping, the weight leans the bike that way. May be I should wear knee and elbow pads for the next few rides lol.
I have my left foot clipped in at 6 o clock and right foot at 12 (when I unclip right foot). When my left is at bottom, I tend to naturally lean my weight towards the right to balance out. I dont know, visualize like standing and coasting on one of those BMX bikes lol, its like a weight shift. I guess I got used to it when I was a kid. Also maybe try the SH56 cleat? First time I fell, it auto unclipped and I threw my hand and foot out to brace the fall. When I was falling towards the right, it twisted inward which saved my butt by releasing.
