I got back into cycling after 20 years off.

Good hydraulic disc brakes are just so good.

Sadly I need them more, I’m a chicken on the decent and there is a lot more of me to stop.

now that e-bikes are so prevalent, I wonder if we will see more regenerative braking.

i live in a place with large hills that have long descents over miles, and it would be nice to not be wearing out my brakes physically while controlling my speed.
