Yorkshire Pie Jun 2011 4:33pm, 27 Jun 2011 8709 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie After yesterday I would suggest that even if you have a preferred foot to unclip with, you practice stopping and starting with the other foot unclipped from time to time. I had a slight cleat issue yesterday which meant that I couldn't unclip one foot and it felt very wobbly doing it with the other one!
