I use a small and easy to install gizmo bought from Superstar components that stops the chain from dropping. There are quite a few easy and cheap options for chain tensioners or catchers, have a google.

lammo Apr 2016 12:58pm, 14 Apr 2016 6,473 posts	0 lammo OK so just as a test i clipped my shoe onto a pedal, just to see it work, now i cant get it off, is just because i'm not strong enough or is it more than twisting? Yes its on the loosest setting. Thanks

It's generally a lot easier when it's on the bike, so unless your pedal design makes it very awkward, attach the pedal to the bike, put your foot back in the shoe and it should more easily twist out.
