>Centipedes and other many-legged critters can move very fast. Can they? Humans have legs too, but they aren't very fast at all. I can easily outrun any human on my bicycle. The main advantage for legs is dealing with rough terrain. I can hike over/through extremely rough terrain that I would never dream of taking a bike on. But for speed, nothing beats wheels on a smooth surface. You can't have both.
