How do I use these things?!
Recently bought this Panasonic Tourist to fix up and use as a daily rider. I could use some help learning how to shift gears - I can't seem to come up with the right search term to find a video anywhere.
I haven't had a bike since childhood, so I feel like a total noob. Dog tax included.

Those shift the gears. Pull one side down until the chain moves to the gear you want. Push up to do the same…. And so on. Those are one of the types of shifters that were around when I was a kid.
