I've seen photos and videos of bicyclists fleeing from a bear.
There is a canyon I hike that eventually leads to a ridgeline that is
popular with mountain bikers. I've seen bears in the lower part of the
canyon and I've also seen Fish & Wildlife dumping problem bears they've
trapped up on the ridge.
I've been waiting for a biker to emerge from the canyon with a bear on the
handlebars.
Considering the number of black bears in this area eventful encounters are
remarkably few. In my experience the bear either leaves rapidly, trees, or
ignores you. I don't recommend it but I have passed between a mother bear
and her cubs that were treed on the other side of the trail. "Cubs? What
cubs? I haven't seen any cubs Miz Bear."
Even stranger I was driving back to the campsite from a trailhead at Kings
Canyon when I saw a bear treed next to the road. I stopped to take a photo
like a good tourist. The bear shimmied down the tree and walked off. Then
the cub, who I'd not noticed, climbed down and followed her. The question
is if she wasn't bothered by a car and a person taking pictures why had
they treed in the first place?
Kings is awash in bears. Lots of gourmet food and they will disassemble a
Prius to get to it. Bear safes are provided at each campsite with
instructions to put anything that has a scent in the safes rather than
leaving it in the car.
