Oh yeah, and I unclip in the saddle, THEN stand up on the unclipped foot to get in front of the saddle and put the free foot down. It sounds like you're trying to get him to unclip while standing up.
I personally unclip in or out of the saddle depending on the situation. 75% of the time, I unclip while still seated. I was trying to get him to try both. He is not comfortable standing on the one pedal with the other foot unclipped. Seems simple to me, but he is wigged out about it. Perhaps more time in the saddle getting comfortable with the bike might help.
Thanks for the CSUN suggestion. Maybe I'll bring him out there one of these days.
