Forget shifting! Think braking. I had an accident while hydrating once. Afterwards I rethought my processes (or lack of them). I decided that while drinking from my water bottle.... it would be best if the brake I had access to was my rear brake.

As far as shifting my Vintage down tube shifter I will use ether hand (for ether front or rear) as the hand is only off the handle bar for a second or two.
