Getting past that point is the last hurdle! If you can unclip/disengage well don't hold back. You'll surprise yourself.

The last hurdle is being able to pick your nose whilst track standing at the lights. Nothing displays complete bike control better.

I'll be happy if I can even recreate the brief couple of seconds this morning...
Coffee and picking my nose seem a long way off even while I'm moving, never mind when I'm stationary.

Managed my first (sort of) trackstand this morning! It was only a few seconds, but I'm counting it because there was a definite 'backwards' motion to keep myself up. Usually I get to the point where I need to pedal backwards to balance, but panic at the idea of moving backwards and bail out.
Made my morning, which was otherwise a massive grind for some reason.
