Well, I would say that is your non-racing opinion and as such is
different to the circumstances we were talking about. They would only be
as dangerous as you allow them to be in heavy traffic.

They weren't inherently dangerous, and were only dangerous in the hands of incompetent twits like you.

I don't remember
ANY MTB's with downtube shifters. But I can't remember what my MB-2 had
on it. Looking it up it had friction thumb shifters.

Because taking your hand off the bar on an MTB in technical terrain _was_ inherently dangerous. We aren't talking about MTBs dumbass, we're talking about road biking/racing.
