If ever I find myself with enough spare time on my hands to balance my bike wheels, I'd choose to do a thousand things other than balance my bike wheels.
As someone has quoted, at 7 revolutions per second at 30+mph, with the tiny amount of mass/momentum of a lightweight bike wheel/tyre combination, with a big heavy human keeping the whole setup stable, compared to a heavy car wheel/tyre rotating at say 60mph, it adds up to approximately nothing.
It reminds me of folks that try to realign their cassette because they notice a slight wobble while freewheeling when the bike is in the work stand. A similarly fruitless use of precious time. Life's too short.
