There is one place near the end of my rides where I top a hill and there is one small road branching off which creates a decent size paved place where I ride in figure eight pattern for several minutes to get a breather and dry some sweat before taking off downhill back to my hometown. This way I don't arrive foaming at mouth. You can see far and wide on that road crossing and there is almost no traffic most times anyway.

While you almost don't need to pedal during those tight figure eights and the momentum keeps because the turns spring you around somewhat like a gravity assisted acceleration of space probes, still an occasional pedal action is needed and probably these new bikes are not made for such artistry.
