I coast on the way to the train fron my house, not so much on the other end. The trip from the station to the house is all either uphill, taking the lane on a 4-lane road (e.g., 2 lanes in each direction), or dealing with traffic lights.
Coasting is fun... except when you need to brake going downhill for miles and miles. My poor hands!
