Common, but could be one of many things. Take a look at Park tools and their article on diagnosing noises.0

now when i push down on the right crank with my right foot and pull the left crank up and down with my hand it moves a bit.. what could it be ??0

If you get hold of both crank arms, and shake them, do they move together? If so, the bottom bracket bearings are loose and need replacing, or adjusting (if possible).
If the crank arm moves independantly it is loose, and maybe about to die. Tighten it up!0 -
it could be loose!!!!
the clicking sounds like it could be your pedals , they tent to get full of sh1t this time of year due to the weather and mud......
if you have another bike just swap the pedals over and see if that works.http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc1/ ... ogs066.jpg

As others have said, look at your bottom bracket - this secures the crankset to the bike tube - bearings may be loose and rattling around or the cranks may be becoming loose - how old is the bike?0
