Video: Cyclist rounds bend, sees bear … and falls off bike
A cyclist riding through woods in Alaska sure got a big surprise after rounding a bend to discover a bear sitting on the trail … so much so that he fell off his bike.
The rider posted footage of the incident, which happened near Anchorage, to Reddit under the title, "There are better places to sit, bro."
The cyclist wrote that he "said some inappropriate words. Slowly dragged my bike backwards. And then sprinted in the other direction."
Regarding the bear, he said: "It couldn't have cared less about me. I've never felt so insignificant and been glad about it."

I'd say it's also anti-social behaviour and maybe they were trying to terrorise the cyclists off the road?!
Not Mason's, Manor.

They're probably taking photos of all the helmets on display 🧢 And wondering where they keep their bike pumps... this one time at band camp 🎺
