I've taught a few people to ride with clips. They either get it or they don't.... And when they don't it's generally the person is still sitting on their saddle when coming to a stop. Get off your ass, stand over the top tube, and come to a stop like a man! Literally, if you unclip one foot when standing over the top tube, you have way more balance and maneuverability to put the bike where you want it. One foot down, and plant it. The bike has no where to go but follow.
