7. You never get stuck in traffic and always have a great parking spot!
If you ride in a city and bike during commuting hours you'll love being able to cruise past long lines of vehicles held up at red lights (be sure to watch carefully for right-turning traffic who might not see you).
I still get caught in traffic here. I don't feel comfortable cycling in the narrow spaces between cars.
