Shoes for clips at Alpenrose

Interesting recommendation, Mike, but the Yellow Jersey webpage says that in order to exit the pedal, "The rider's assistant locks the cleat in the pedal and releases it after the event, because the release mechanism is under the rider's foot..."

I'm concerned because my "rider's assistant" tends to be surly and incompetent, and I'd just as soon clip out all by myself. Is that at all possible with these pedals, or do I truly need to have a posse accompany me to the track to lift me off my bike after every race?

That is the MKS EXA Track Pedal.

Definitely no inadvertent clip outs!! I have had a bit of difficulty getting them off riders who are on the deck.
