Over the years I've mastered it due to riding around London with its gazilion traffic lights. Treating the ground as lava gives me something to do while stuck at a reds, and I don't think anyone ever said having good balance and bike control was a bad thing.
And I figure I'll go through less cleats by not wearing them out on tarmac by having feet down at every light, and of course I look like a cycling legend....or a massive poser depending on peoples views
