I'm a self-teaching geek. teaching because that process is far from over. I don't know a ton, but what I know, I'll share, and I won't answer a question if I'm not confident I'm correct.

Is the question here how many people use their MTBs on pavement? Or what bike should I get if I'm going to use my MTB on the pavement?

comment Are there any scientific studies proving the benefits of clipless pedal systems?
Downhill racers notice significant differences in handling between flat and clipless pedals. It's just that they have the overriding necessity to be free of the bike during their regular and inevitable crashes. That means that for a DH rider, a flat pedal has a benefit which clipless does not offer. And so many choose to use them. That safety choice does not mean that it would not be easier to traverse the same terrain using a clipless pedal. The difference in handling may not be discernible to the observer. I assure you it is discernible to the rider.
