Walking along the surface of Mars wouldn’t be as springy as the moon, but a lower level of gravity would leave you feeling extremely light. The red terrain would be wondrous, as long as you didn’t get swept up in one of the storms that occur on the surface of this planet.
Right now, no. In a few million years, yes. Phobos is slowly spiraling in towards Mars. In a few million years it will be close enough to Mars that tidal forces from Mars will tear Phobos apart. The very rocks that loosely comprise Phobos will fall off of Phobos. Phobos is 27 × 22 × 18 km.
As long as you can survive in space - very briefly. Oxygen at the thin atmospheric pressure of Mars isn't going to help. A pressurized helmet could at least keep oxygen in your lungs and could keep the organs in the head intact, but it might damage the neck from excessive forces there. You really want a full-body pressure suit.
May 4, 2022 · Could you ride a standard bicycle on the surface of mars? Yes, you could. You would balance a little differently, because the force of gravity is a little different, but the force is similar because it is still in the same direction (down, i.e., towards the center of the planet).
Jun 18, 1998 · The optimal walking speed on Mars will be 3.4 km h−1 (down from 5.5 km h−1 on Earth) and the work done per unit distance to move the centre of mass will be half that on Earth.

Sep 30, 2014 · The results showed that the ideal walking speed on Mars will be only a little more than half of the terrestrial average. Although martian explorers will walk more slowly than they would on Earth, they will expend only half as much energy to move an object.
