I am willing to bet the Huntington has 'standard' 9/16 pedals on his bike and switching to clipless will be no problem. I would only be concernd about threading if he said "I have this old Motobecome and I" since that would raise the French flag.
Nothing wrong with clips and straps they just take a little practice is all. Huntington just what kind of bike do you have?
