This is also good because if you inflate your tires inside a 78 degree house and then go out and ride in 100 degree weather, you could pop a tube pretty easily. Conversely, when you inflate inside and then go for a cold ride, you end up with lower pressure and run the risk of pinch flats or even just a bad ride because your tires are too soft.
