You hear stories of mountain bikers' close calls with wildlife鈥攍ike the mountain lion that leapt on some poor schmuck's back from high ground or the mother bear that chased off a hapless rider when he startled her cubs鈥攂ut I've always written them off as urban legend. I figure that any critters I happen on will be fast headed the other direction. Case in point: a few weeks ago, while racing the outside of Salida, Colorado, I sent a black bear scuttling for cover when I came hurtling down the trail late in the night. And last weekend on the , I startled an elk with a giant rack into a dead run on the flanks of Bill Williams mountain.听Animals want as little to do with us as we want to do with them, I've always said鈥攗ntil I saw this video. I think I'll watch the woods a bit more closely from now on.
