*nods* The actual bike riding turned out no different than it would
have been on Earth. On the other hand, I liked the bit about people
disagreeing on whether it's charming to live on a habitat big enough
to have uncontrolled weather :)

1/6 g low enough to fly by flapping wings - do you have a source for
that, or was it an off the cuff guess? My guess for what it's worth is
that you'd need to go a bit lower, particularly in an environment with
few or no thermals to glide on, but I'm really not sure of the answer.
