“It’s probably safer riding with cars”: Cyclist seriously injured after crashing into black bear on forest trail “The reason I rode in the forest is just to get away from the traffic, right? I’m just really glad to be alive” cycling

A cyclist says he’s lucky to be alive after suffering serious injuries when he crashed straight into a black bear while descending a forest trail – which he had chosen for his evening ride to avoid cycling in traffic on the road.

As the bear fled off the path, the cyclist – who landed hard on his side – was aided by an e-bike rider, who stayed with him while two other cyclists tried to find phone reception to call for help. “He was kind of looking at me, really curious, kind of like, ‘What’s up with you?’ Then the bear just started eating grass. He pretty much just carried on with his day.”

The 30-year-old also noted that he has been cycling on the rugged trails of the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve his entire life, but that his close encounter with a bear may change his riding habits. As we’ve reported on road.cc over the years, encounters between cyclists and bears are fairly common on the mountain trails of North America.on the side of the road as a grizzly bear ambled by.in Montana, around 150 miles from the group’s close encounter.
