Default nitrogen in bike tires?

Anyone ever heard of this?
Anyone ever done this?
Opinions, comments, and suggestions are welcome.

I was thinking about trying it after seeing how it works on regular vehicles. Makes since i was just wondering if it is unsafe or impractical.

thanks guys

works on car tires... dont see why not.... Nitrogen is dry, and presure wont change with temperature, and it wont corrode wheels/tires ect... plus, maybe you can reduce your unsprung weight... who knows about that last one tho... i say, weigh your tires/wheels with air, then do the same with nitrogen
