It is useful for avoiding potholes or other road debris when you cant swerve to miss them, its not really about being able to hop up kerbs.
Indeed... it's saved me many a puncture..

in normal riding, I cannot think of a single occasion where it would have been useful. I don't ride on footpaths.
its usually not a proper bunny hop if you do it clipless...teaches bad technique and habit, as i know all too well when i occassionally put on flat pedals on my mtb, i keep trying to do it the lazy way and my feet keep leaving the pedals
Why on earth would anyone want to avoid an A road???
Like this ...At the risk of sounding dumb...How do you bunny hop??
Why would anyone choose to ride on an A-road if a quieter alternative was available?Why on earth would anyone want to avoid an A road???
They tend to be a more direct route from A to B when I'm in a rush.Why would anyone choose to ride on an A-road if a quieter alternative was available?
I can see the sense in that, but for leisure riding I'd always seek alternatives.They tend to be a more direct route from A to B when I'm in a rush.
Yes and No to the OP. I don't think I could do it with flat pedals but as you say its not really hard with clipless. That said I probably couldn't get that high its only really a spur of the moment think for me when a pothole comes up; my mate on the other hand is good at itIt's really not hard (with clipless).
Another question is how high?
In cyclocross, elite riders bunnyhop 16 inch barriers (ususally as a combo of two, about 12 feet apart.) At speed. Now that is hard.

Oops - sorry for my transitory mental aberration - I'd already commented on that on the previous page!Why would anyone choose to ride on an A-road if a quieter alternative was available?
