I spent so many years riding bikes in circles on a velodrome. Doesn't seem too different.
When I would ride behind a motorbike, at 40+ mph, it was effort to just keep my body from being pushed down into the handlebars. At 50+, my tires would start to skip upwards/outwards.

- semi-extrinsic 3y agoKeep in mind if you are putting in enough speed to get rotational acceleration of 0.5 G on Earth, that would be around 1.3 - 1.4 G total acceleration (depending on the bank angle). But on the moon it would just be 0.5 - 0.6 G.
