Damn - the bear came back to check to see if the guy was OK and everybody’s like “Oh! Bear!” Some days you just can’t be a Good Samaritan.
“Did I ever tell you about the time I kissed a bear? Hey, buy a beer and I’ll tell you all about it.”
Bear bites can be nasty I hear
Did the bear have any injuries?
The thought of a hurt bear with no treatment is unbearable.
Was the fact that the guy who stayed behind was riding an e-bike important to highlight? He could’ve been riding a big wheel, which definitely would make the story more interesting.
“Mayhem” biking through the sticks!
Maybe by brother smelled bad. At least that's the theory I stick to him whenever the subject comes up.
I think this story bears watching.
Vancouver is notorious for bear. So is Wyoming.
I have ran into a couple three. One was doing his business, it was fresh and smelly. It ran like a scared kitten.
“This happened to my brother twenty years ago in California. Bounced off a grizzly on his mt. bike. Rather than eat him as he lay on the ground, the bear got in his face, huffed, and then launched itself UP the 8 foot embankment in a way that was gravity defying for such a large beastie.
Maybe by brother smelled bad. At least that’s the theory I stick to him whenever the subject comes up.”
Now THAT’s an interesting story. Do tell us more!
That reminds me of the Berenstein Bears book and tv series that my kids used to read and watch. I myself, watched Yogi Bear and his pal BooBoo. Cant remember the friendly park rangers name. 😊
Steve Isdahl on yt has some cool vids of blacks and grizz and elk and etc. He lives and hunts up there in BC.
So you can confirm bears you know what in the woods?
That's basically it. Maybe sticking his hand in a bee's nest while scaling Half Dome was more interesting. Or getting "nudged" by orcas on his sailboard off Catalina....
My story is much more interesting. Did a wheelie a couple times. Once ate Mexican when I had a stomach virus...
Did Trudeau have him arrested for animal abuse?

Lots of vid’s out there of bears chasing mountain bikers.
Merely jogging to stay in shape.
