I somehow knew that clutch engage/disengage terminology would confuse some. Hell, it even confused me when I typed it.

In a car, to make it go forward, you have to slowly let off the pedal (i.e. release or "pull" it in). However, in this particular rigid (and I don't really know if all suicide shifters are set up this way), I had to do the opposite and PUSH the pedal forwards to make the bike go.

(Remember, in a car, if you PUSH the clutch pedal, you ain't goin' nowhere).
