Do you mean an Arctic or European bear?

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.

....”and how he got on my bicycle I’ll never know.”
It must be a big bicycle, with both a woman and bear running on it! ;-P
The headline writer did his job perfectly.
He made you look. :-)
True! LOL. :-)
Still, it ranks up there with headlines about all those mean, vicious SUVs driving around with nothing better to do than run over innocent people!
Clever fellows, never know what they'll learn to do next.
Bears can ride bicycles. This is another difference between bears and dogs.
Oh well, it is harder now to tell the difference between bears and dogs.
Problem
There are 3 bears: Momma Bear, Poppa Bear, and Baby Bear. They love to go bike riding with each other. The street on which they bike is one-half a mile long. If Poppa Bear’s bike has 26-inch wheels, Momma Bear’s bike has 24-inch wheels, and Baby bear’s bike has 20-inch wheels how many wheel rotations will it take for each of them to go from one end of the street to the other? Round to the nearest whole number and use 3.14 as pi.
LOL! Perfect picture. Fast reply.
Google images is my friend! :-)
