All upsides. Not a single downside I can think of, other than if you do it wrong, you hit stuff.

- Less likely to sieze an (air cooled) engine sitting in traffic
- Helps keep people vigilant (in theory)
- Ultimately a more efficient use of the road as a resource
- Helps encourage fewer people to drive

I'm a big fan of it. It's nice being able to get anywhere in SoCal in 1/3 to 1/2 the time of everyone else - and that's WITHOUT riding like an idiot or whipping in between cars at 100 mph. That's simply being able to coast along at 15-25 mph when the rest of the stuff is dead-stopped.

It's a BIG incentive to own a bike. Only reason I'm selling mine is I never commute anywhere anymore. . .
