It means time to put the bicycle clips on your trousers in order to stop the - - - - falling out of them.

It is used in moments of extreme worry - when the effect may be enough for you to lose control of your bowel movements.

Wider context is that two guys are hidding from other guys chasing them.
One of the hidding guys asks the other guy: How does it look?
The second guy looks out to find out and answers back:

"on a scale of one to ten I'd say it's bicycle-clip time"

any suggestions?

I should have added that the saying is:

It's bicycle clips time.

Splendid expression, though.

The term bicyle clip time refers to an event stressfull enough to make a person have an accidental bowel movement. The wearing of bicyle clips (the old fashioned type that prevented trousers getting caught in a bicyle chain) would contain the resultant mess.
