This is driven primarily by the ease with which I can get re-clipped the right whereas I find myself fumbling with the left a block after I’ve taken off again. Easier to just leave it clipped in. For reasons I can’t disclose (mostly because they’ve not been disclosed to me and I’m too lazy to make any up), I opted to unclip my left foot and stop on my left foot. It appears it got the message to unclip but the rest of my body failed to follow suit and habitually leaned to the right. That’s my best guess. Or – perhaps more interestingly, my left side is trying to kill my right side. Each “off” I’ve had seems to involve punishing the right side while the left escapes unharmed. Hmmmm….

Luckily I have my backup gortex front spandex back rain pants which work well enough but are a little on the cool side.

Last season, being my first with clip-less pedals, I came very close two or three times to bailing due to a failure to unclip, but so far (crosses fingers) I have managed to stay upright. I was assured by Thomas that I would definitely bail a few times so you are in the majority :)

I am curious though… Why after getting your left foot unclipped were you trying to unclip your right?
