Same on a motorcycle. My current bike has a quickshifter (for both up and down shifting) but even without one you can shift up and down without ever touching the clutch just by pushing on the shift pedal while blipping the throttle off-and-on (for an upshift) or on-and-off (for a downshift). That’s all the quickshifter is really doing anyway, it’s just quicker at it than you are.

I’d wager bordering on 100% of my clutch use is when coming to a complete stop.
