It looks like you have to reach down past your crotch to reach the shift lever. How does that work? I just don't know why you would take the thing (clutch) that requires fine motor control, and position it at your foot, and take the thing that requires no precision control (gear lever), and position it at your hand. Very dangerous forcing the rider to take a hand off the bike every time a gear change is needed.
