HELP!!
Ok... so I love my new bike... but I don't know how to use the shifters.
They're right under the brake levers and I know the left controlls the front and the right controls the rear... and I can shift one direction by pushing sideways on the shifter, but I can't shift the other because I can't figure out what to do!!! And the stupid manual doen't explain how to use them!
help!
THE NEXT MORNING:
Hooray I figured it out... thanks Hollie and Laura!!! It seems the thumb lever under the brake handle shifts up and the WHOLE BRAKE HANDLE gets pushed toward the midline of the bike to shift back down.
I'm a freakin genius I tells ya!

Yep - that should be it... put your hands on the brake hoods and your left and right thumb should hit a little lever, push it down ( you might have to push hard-ish to get it to work). It should click through the gears.

there might be a thumb lever on the inside of either brake lever that causes downshifting...
