That just means you had stored potential energy, otherwise how are you going to get up the hill?
- yttrbnim 1y agoI'm not sure what you mean? You need to get up the hill to get down the hill, but today when I do that the energy downhill gets wasted through heating of my brakes at the bottom. If I could use that energy for easier time the next hill around that'd be really nice.
- jeffbee 1y agoOn moderate descents a bike reaches equilibrium with the air resistance at a low speed, so there's nothing to recover.
