Holy crap! A good reason to bring a loud yodeller on your MTB rides



You know how the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Baily used to have a bear ride a bike?

It seems possible that the bear now resents it...


The bear charged, and the man picked up his bike to protect himself. But the bear reached through the bike and ripped at the man's arm, face, back, neck and ear before backing off, Powers said.


Luckily, this Washington mountain biker got away and survived. He might have been just fine if he rode a bike with a smaller counter in the frame. Maybe something really ugly, like this...
