The proposed device is predicted to allow almost double that speed. I think it’s pretty cool.

What? That’s faster than track cycling world records! The 200m flying start record is 9.1s which translates to 79km/h. The makers of this device are proposing to let humans run faster than a world record track cyclist!

Maybe I got the unit conversions wrong. The theoretical maximum speed is shown to be on par with world record track cyclists.

An odd sense of calm would come over me any time I got my bicycle going over 40 mph. “If I fall now, I’ll bounce twice and then blackness.” I no longer recall my top speed, either 42 or 45. One particular little river valley with very good pavement and clear sight lines.

There is no amount of money you could pay me to run at 52 mph.
