I can't do it, just can't ride my bike without being clipped in. I come from the days of straps and clips. Once we get moving just within the first rev of the pedals from a stop light, the straps get pulled and feet locked in. I don't remember the last itme I have fallen off due to feet stuck in pedal. Over the years, its pretty natural to snap my foot out without ever thinking about it. Sure I have my fair share of crashing with both feet stuck in the pedals. Those times are always fun. We did many track stands at red lights in heavy traffic strapped in. If we get in trouble, we had to reach down and release the buckle to get one's foot out to prevent falling over looking like an idiot. We were young, dumb and just having too much fun.
I am like Higgins, no electronic. Just go until you feel like siht and slow up a bit ( 15 second of easing off), recover and go again. I was going to get out for a ride, but daylight saving made me lazy and my light isn't charged just in case if I get caught in the dark, drivers can see me and I can see all the LA's bad roads ahead of me. I dislike riding in the dark or near dark. People get stupid.
