Bikes also lose momentum and the rider sometimes has to step off and place a foot down at a stop. This causes the bike to have a very slow start once it needs to get going again which impedes the flow of traffic or can be a safety problem.
This is probably my bias because my seat is too high for my feet to touch the ground so it makes me very unstable when I reach a stop, especially when clipped in and then frantically trying to clip back into my pedal when I try to get going again after a stop sign.
