There were also a few panic situations at stops, but I got clipped out in time.
Now, after 10,000 miles, I don't have to think about it at all. When clipless was new to me, I had to plan my stops, clipping out in advance and making sure to lean that way.
Ditto for me....several very close calls...winding up still clipped in on one foot, but facing backwards on the clipped in side after swinging my un-clipped foot/leg over the rear tire. Bet you didn't know your lower leg could do a 180 from the upper leg.
