Sprinters generally have an assistant or male cheerleader of some sort that
go with them. I am not going to even start to speculate into the
psychological aspects of this sort of thing. Unlocking the rider from his
pedals is surely the least task assigned to them.

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.
