I easily hit 30+ Mph on several downhill sections of my morning ride into the city, and I tend to cost and tuck these sections. My Nexus-8 is more or less maxed out at that point, and I see it as an opportunity to just enjoy gravity doing its work.
Other than that, I discretionarily coast in the city - approaching lights, assessing stuff affecting the bike lane up ahead, etc.
