Toe clips kind've do that.

When using them, then generally, when coming to a halt, you can prop yourself up by holding on to railings or a pelican-crossing post or the like.

Every now and then, you have to come to a screeching halt for some reason or other, there's nothing to prop you up and you realize you've left it too late to reach down and release one of your footstraps. With feet firmly locked to the pedals, you have about a second and a half to think to yourself "Oh, bother" in a Winnie-the-Pooh manner before majestically topling over. if the universe is functioning normally, the direction of topling will be on the same side as as the pannier bag with your laptop.
