I read somewhere that on the moon, with no air resistance, 1/6th the gravity, and given the extremely efficiency of a bicycle's drivetrain, it should be possible to ride at about 2200 mph, given roads, traction, etc etc etc.
I figure a pedal powered railed (i.e. no need for traction - think roller coasters) transportation network wouldn't be far fetched up there. Of course you have to make the rails. Okay, never mind.
