1. Nearly losing balance at a stop when only unclipping one foot and leaving the other clipped in, suddenly sometimes weight starts to go towards the side that i am still clipped in on and i nearly fall

2. Foot almost sliding out from under me when stopping and resting foot out from the cleat sliding on the cement and my shoe lacking much rubber at all

3. Extra cautious riding due to the fact that if something happens I wouldn't be able to clip out in time

Those are about the main three problems that I am having and after ten rides I thought things would've gotten better but the same problems still remain, how long has it taken some of you to get used to riding with clipless after coming from just platform pedals?
