Anything can make a bike go click but for me it's usually one thing: the bottom 
bracket isn't snug enough. Grant mentioned this already and I concur. 

Almost every bike I've owned this has popped up, and usually right after I've 
installed the BB. I've even used a bit of teflon tape on really stubborn cases. 
A breaker bar helps to install snugly. Not so you can gorilla it, but so you 
can apply more force in a controlled manner.

The giveaway that's it's the bb is that the creak is intermittent and usually 
prompted by standing, either to mash up a hill or get underway from a stop. It 
goes away under easy pedaling/less torque. A loose crank arm is similar but it 
makes a creaking noise instead of a click.
