Mountain Bike and Bear

Recommended Posts

I was on a trail early this morning and I went around a shaIrp turn and a black bear was RIGHT in front of me, maybe 5 feet from me on the trail.  I slammed on the breaks so I didn't crash into him and jumped off the bike.  This is the second close encounter on a bike I have had.  He gave a whine of some kind and then ran off into the woods to my left.  Maybe I should put some bells on the bike :).

Maybe if you hit your brakes, you would have stopped in time... :good:

Also, you might want to clip one of these to your belt or water bottle holder:
