Good point…I'd train on Jupiter, then race on the other planets. Kind of like runners training in Colorado and racing at sea level. I would the inter-planetary king of low gravity mountain bike racing…at least until someone figured out my system.
I'm not talking all of the races... just if u had one like that in a season. Or if u could just ride it ever once in a while.
The low gravity is what would make the race interesting... It would be a part of the race, something you would have to adapt/stratagize to.
I don't adapt to gravity, gravity adapts to me.
I'd opt for the higher gravity JPA (Jupiter Pale Ale)
Some time in your fifth decade, like it or not, you will begin to adapt to gravity. Growing old isn't for the timid but it beats the alternative.
Apparently all the Moon's beer is light.
So the issue is really traction. Eventually you'd reach a point of equilibrium and float (more or less). Getting traction on dense gas would be a problem, plus your Stan's would freeze and you'd be crushed by the atmosphere. But I think it's important to take on the issues in order of competitive edge rather than focusing on the objection points (like being crushed to death).
Looks like you'd lose him on any climb.Keep in mind, any mtb race on another planet may include a one on one battle with this guy, just before the finish line.
Look out!
Based on my extensive knowledge of space travel from Star Trek and MIB, I think the girl on the left is more appropriately dressed for travel to "M" class planets. As an aside, unless a thread starts in the middle of left field, how many posts (on average) until the thread digresses into irrelivancy? Just looking for a consensus of opinion, not actual science.Pretty close to zero wind resistance on Mars too, and actually zero on the moon. That could be as big of factor as gravity.
Modern Mars spacesuits don't look too restrictive, either.

Dainese, heh.
