Most cars can run faster than a bear, not true for bicycles.

Judging by road position, I would say that wasn't the case.  There have been plenty of people who lost the car vs bear war.  I am sure a simple Youtube search would show stupid people and bears. 

In 3 seconds, I found one.  Stupid people and a bear.

It's kinda like feeling safe in a shed.  <falsesenseofsecurity> :)  Bears have ripped doors and portions of roofs of cars and through my own experience, they sure as hell chew and claw their way through a cabin wall in a hurry. 

Naw. Make some noise, they'll run.

For a while, we were getting a deluge of Black Bears - there was no bear hunting season.

Then they reestablished a Black Bear season in 2004 - a 12 year-old girl got the first one. It only lasts from Oct. 21-25 but things are back toward normal.

Bears are smart. 399 showed up this spring with four cubs. She is 24 and has had at least 20 cubs. The belief is her secret to success is hanging around Pilgrim Creek where there are lots of photographers and few male grizzlies. She uses the crowds as her shield.

What the hell is wrong with people?

While driving in South Dakota I've seen people get out of their cars to get their picture with a buffalo.

 What people don't know is they can't out run a pissed off buffalo.

And buffalos don’t strike me as having any sense of humor at all!

I hope he crossed the road safely. Cool to see one from an enclosed vehicle. :)

The worst part is the bear was in between a stretch of the highway and rail tracks.  I didn't even know the location of the tracks until a train went by while we were shooting -- and it was only like 25 yards away.  It was a young bear.  It's got a few things to learn.
