    they’re basically a pair of pogo sticks with a kickstand.
    Though interestingly we’re such efficient runners for exactly the same reason: Our legs also rely on springy tendons. Proper running form is to not put much force on the heel, so the arch of the foot acts like a spring alongside the achilles tendon and some other bits.
