Over the my last few rides, I've made a point of noting when and why I move in to lanes of traffic. If you have broad, clean shoulders and you never have to venture in to a lane, maybe it wouldn't benefit you so much... but I often have crappy shoulders with debris and hazards here and there. If I'm regularly moving in to a lane, even if only briefly to avoid a pothole, I can see this being a benefit. If there's a longer stretch of ****ty shoulder, I think it would be a nice luxury to move in to the lane, in the smooth passenger-side wheel track, and just cruise there until the shoulder improves or I get a notification of a car back.

I'm sure that someone with practical experience will be happy to chime in with regard to my expectations.
