Don't like NOT being clipped in

I bought a new bike recently to get me from home to the train station. On my "nice" bike, the one I normally go mountain biking with, I have SPD (clip-in pedals), It has taken awhile to get used to them. I still have some deep seeded fears, as I have the tension set very low, so that it is easy to disengage and release from the pedals.

On my new commuter bike, also a mountain bike, I just have normal pedals. There is one staircase that I ride down to throw a little spice on the cruise to the train station. Anyways, going down the staircase on normal pedals, feels totally unstable and is quite nerve racking. I don't like it all. I was a little surprised, how dramatically I prefer to be clipped in.
