You hold on with your knees squeezing the bike, not with your hands.

I use one finger on both clutch and brake and keep that finger touching the levers at all times. Ready to use at any moment. I think a lot of people don't realize how little you have to move the lever to accomplish the job. They over pull the lever, thus using up strength.
