I get a kick out of the encounters that folks have with wildlife.  If you remember a few days back i referenced a jogger who was run over by a bear.  Well this week, a Colorado Cyclist seems to have tried to even the score, according to the Rocky Mountain News.

Tim Egan, 53, was riding on Old Stage Road Tuesday afternoon when suddenly a bear appeared in front of him. Egan hit the bear and ended up skidding across the road….

…Egan estimated he was going about 45 miles per hour at impact. He said the bear was about 6 feet tall and probably weighed 500 pounds.

That is a pretty incredible accident.  Luckily he was able to pedal himself to the hospital. What amazes me is that it is the second bike/bear collision in two years.  There must be a heck of a bear population there or one dumb, slow bear!
