Bear on trail video still (via pfffhuckit on Reddit).pngVideo: 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."

Agreed, but he was still right to publicise the event. The police, if they're anything like Lancashire, will do nothing at all.

Fadge
Ah, got carried away after the advert for sticking a pineapple in your vagina instead of a tampon... but, yeah, still a fadge for falling off, it's a fucking tiny little bear. If it was bait you're already in for a world of pain so why not just keep cycling.
Note that because he wasn't riding a fixie without a front brake he was able to stop within a second
Was it having a shit?
It is in the woods, so naturally...
Is the Pope
a NaziCatholic?After he saw the bear!
