These headline writers really need to work on their craft better...;-)

Inga Åkerström from Boltjärn in northern Sweden found herself pedalling for her life on Monday when she was chased by a bear while out cycling.
"I was on an upward slope when I saw something at the side of the road and began to wonder what it was. Then it raised its head and I saw that it was a bear," she told Dagbladet i Sundsvall.
After she had turned around and begun cycling back down the hill, she observed the bear coming towards her at top speed.
Fortunately for Åkerström, she soon came upon her husband who was out walking the dog. Seeing that the object of its attentions now had company, the bear turned on its paws and fled back into the woods.
"God, it was awful. I hope I never have to go through anything like that again," said Åkerström.
Most Swedish women named Inga are used to being chased all day long.
Just check out our new national anthem “Inga from Sweden” for evidence hereof:

What type of bicycle was the bear riding?
Dang!
You beat me to it.
Did she have a picnic basket?
Some kind of circus bike, I presume. If not at a circus, I wonder where it learnt to ride a bicycle..
Was it Yogi or Boo-boo?
Do bears eat bicycle seats?
Had to read it twice. First time after she turned around I thought is said her husband ran into the woods...but then maybe she thinks her hubby is a bear too?
And as the old saying goes, she didn't have to be faster than the bear ... just faster than her husband.
Lucky for her she had a bike and a downhill.
“Did she have a picnic basket?”
- Perhaps. If the bear wasn’t severely wounded our had cubs, the explanation to the pursuit could be Inga was carrying something that smelled very tempting to it.
Usually, bears shun human beings in Sweden. The only bears that view humans as natural prey are polar bears - and there are no wild polar bears in Sweden.
My name is Inga,The number at SAS is 800-221-2350, guys.
and I'm from Sweden.
I can fall in love with you.
If you meet me on Ibiza,
I can show you how to party too.
Was she chaste?
Right up ‘til she was caught.
“Was she chaste?”
- No, remember she’s from Sweden :-)
I’ve never heard of any chaste Swedish women and I’ve lived here for almost all of my 38 years.
- Welcome to Sweden!
I don’t think you’d be disappointed of the girls you’d meet at Swedish nightclubs.
Swedish nightclubs are even hotter than their British counterparts.
Swedish vs British nightclubs;
