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.

On moderate descents a bike reaches equilibrium with the air resistance at a low speed, so there's nothing to recover.
