Now doing up and undoing straps when your feet have to keep turning on a fixie. Now THAT was fun!

I still have memories of one of my first rides on my D/A Look-style pedals way back when... at a stoplight, (unclipped the right foot for some reason) and fell left into the line of stopped cars. Talk about embarrasing! Leg flailing around for traction as I fell with a graceless thump onto the tarmac.
To the OP: whatcha wanna do is go to your local baseball diamond/soccer field/schoolyard and practice, practice, practice clipping in and out. Oh, and while yer there, see if you can't con a buddy into doing bumping drills too.
