Exactly, a little while ago I was riding my wife's bike which only has platforms. The trail was pretty icy and slippery and a couple of times I lost it. As the bike was going down and I was jumping away from it, I found myself inadvertently kicking out of the pedals. It was funny because there was no need to unclip with the platforms but my brain is now programmed to do it.
