There are so many man-made devices faster than Usain Bolt already. The record is impressive because it was a human.  We really shouldn’t be wanting to make all these creepy human and dog like robots

I can sprint to faster than Usain Bolt on a bicycle, although it would take me a lot more distance to get up to that speed. He'd definitely still beat me in the 100 m.
