Ah yes, clips. You have my sympathies, and not the least for the situation that he's probably off his bike for awhile. That tends to make cyclists CRANKY (pun intended).

Got a pretty bad ankle sprain yesterday helping the wife move boxes of books (that makes it her fault, right?). So now I'm off mine for awhile, too. May have to go back to flat pedals temporarily.

Hang in there, he'll be back to good as new soon.
