Yep, tell him to be at the southwest parking lot Saturdays and Sundays at 8am and he will find plenty of help. Also, CSUN had a cycling team 10 years ago when I was racing, so he should see if it still exists.

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.
