clipping in at light also sucks.
One of the things I do is to clip out several yards before I actually need to stop. That way you'll be guaranteed to have one foot free when you come to a complete stop.
But if you're not racing, and if you're not really serious about riding fast, I don't think it's really all that necessary. Platform pedals are cool, and as an added bonus, you can use them with almost any type of footwear.
