Especially on a long downhill.
It seems to keep my legs from stiffening up IMHO.
yeah, that's how i went through two sets of brake pads in about 500 miles
i find the same thing wrt the legs, so i use the brakes to keep a bit of resistance in there - basically pedalling against the brakes instead of gravity and rolling resistance, i guess.
