I guess you could say that I tend to ride using what could be called some of the same techniques, more to just conserve my energy on long rides for the most part. I'll do an equivalent to EOC when I find a big hill. But in general, it's easier to keep spinning in a higher gear if you get tired just so your legs keep moving. It's sorta different then cars also, because if you think about it, to save "energy" or in this case fuel, a car stays in the highest gear possible to keep the RPMs low. However, riding a bike, you need to keep your cadence high (RPM of pedals) to keep the strain on your muscles to a minimum and reduce your fatigue.
