I did a riding course in Wales and the guy taught me to have the revs in the power band the whole time - once I was doing that he made me ride down a mountain road without using the brakes (to cure me of comfort braking). It was a bit scary but I did it - it felt like a totally new way of riding the bike (to me).
I'm perfectly happy to bimble along, but it's also useful to know your bikes capabilities - and your ability to handle them.
