KC, and this is why clipless pedals are called clipless, because they no longer had clips.
When you tightened them down with leather toe straps that ratcheded tight, when you came to a stop you had to reach down and push the release tab.
Partly why I found going to clipless spd's pretty easy to adapt to back in 92 I think. Much easier than reaching down to a tight toeclip in busy traffic or when someone opened a door on you suddenly.
sheesh, kids nowadays, they don't know how easy they gots it.....
