Yeah,X2 on that. But riding the brakes going up hill is what puzzles me.
maybe they think it is a foot rest ?

We do have a lot of hills here in calif., say compared to kansas where it is flat. going over the Sierra to Nevada there can be some steep down grades where a slight drag on the brakes to maintain speed, even when running in a lower gear can generate extra heat.

I usually try not to use my brakes any more than I have to. the people that race red light to red light, can sure generate some heat. Hey Dude! slow down, roll into the light, time your self, then when it turns green just down shift and keep going.
