Yikes that would rate pretty high on the pucker factor.

Poses a good question for the bear defense crowd....how fast can you get your rifle/spray ready for that?

I vote you would not have either ready but lots of time to shart myself.

As someone who has been bluff charged by a young grizz protecting it's buried moose. Ya pucker x 100 at least and I may have had time to get one shot off. All ended well, no grizz was harmed or pants peed in lol. Fast is an understatement. I am still amazed how much ground it covered in a couple blinks of an eye.

i must have missed something. only charge i saw was the biker charging down the mountain and crashing in a panic.
still, pretty neat how many people can get pics. or videos of things that we would otherwise never hear about.
love that guys bike helmut. i want one.

Just before he "oh shi--"s and tips down the ravine, he looks to the right. Look carefully then.

That just shows how stupid some people are. why would they be in bear country without a fly rod for protection. :thinking-006:

[bdub]

Good thing there wasn't a cliff or drop off where he was headed! He should of had some playing cards pinned to his front wheel with a clothespin, then the bear may have heard him coming.

We allowed to use the squeaky bicycle brake as the latest and greatest predator call? lol

Close call for him no doubt.

I usually shout every 50 m or so when biking in bear country, but it looks to me like this bear was protecting a kill, so I don't know that that would save me.

No look closer at 2:40. I see a cub.

Pretty hard to be at the ready when you have two hands on handlebars with your eyes on the front wheel navigating single track.

Ya i know, it was more of a rhetorical question. Whether you were navigating single track or tracking an animal, it still all happened pretty dang fast to do anything but throw yourself off a cliff and pee yourself.

Yikes!

[timsesink]

I've biked that trail and yikes!

[chuck-the-chimp]

I've spooked a number of blacks riding in sask. Squeaky brakes and making noise are better protection than anything else. Trying to get spray ready quickly from riding position nearly guarantees that you fall and end up turtled on your back.
