Exactly. Try riding around on your bike with a 300 lb backpack on.

Weight is one sixth, inertia remains the same. I expect that you can go in a straight line, until you fall over or launch yourself into space.

It’s a rubber bon bon.

Not just inertia. Under the moon’s gravity the tires would have 1/6th of the friction they would on Earth.
