That's a hand clutch, isn't it? Shifter for a bike engine shouldn't move around that easily.

Eeeek. Looks like something came loose there.

No, that's the shifter. The linkage broke and the lever was just flopping around. This also meant I was stuck in third gear for the entire course.

Ah, gotcha. That layout reminds me of UT-Arlington's hand clutch, that's where my mistake came from.

We used to have the clutch as a lever on the shifter, but we don't anymore. Not that you really need it, just grab a gear and go.
