Or even better, an aerocycle - human-powered flight is almost impossible on Earth, but in 1/6 g you could do some very fun stuff. IIRC, Arthur C Clarke mentioned races of that sort of vehicle in one of his works, so credit to him.

In Kim Stanley Robinson Mars trilogy, one of the characters talks about being on one of Mars's moons, and how they had to be careful because a good running start could get you to escape velocity.

  The escape velocity of Deimos is only 20 km/h (~12 mph) but I'm not sure how well running would work in such low gravity.

Wouldn't that require a thicker atmosphere?
