Missoula, Montana middle school science teacher Jim Litz was riding his bike to school when he hit a bear.
Litz was traveling about 25 mph when he saw the bear directly in front of him. After t-boning the black bear, the two cartwheeled down the road. The bear got up, scratched his back and ambled off the road while Litz lay dazed and confused on the road.
...wow...i checked out bearforums dot net & right there in the "advocacy & safety" column, the bear admitted that he was partially to blame because he was listening to his i-pod & didn't hear the cyclist approaching...
...that's like, way more than any cyclist will ever admit to...
