I had one chase me on my Horse 2 years ago, I'll never forget that, they are much quicker than you think! It was doing the same thing, circling around us, when it got out of the easiest way to run, we bolted, and it gave chase. The terrain was a bit rough, and I was just praying that Whisper wasn't going to stumble or fall. She did great, and we were out of there. At least I knew that I had the edge in endurance, there's no way that bear could run for as long as Whisper my horse.

There is nothing here like a bear that might attack. North Americans are in far greater danger going into the wild than anyone here is!

Obviously, the bear doesn't understand what I'm saying or that I'm talking in a kind voice, but it can hear that the tone is non-threatening. I stood my ground so that bear didn't see me as prey and I think the bear was a little nervous about approaching me as a result.

Kinda like the weasel family or reptiles like snakes, lizards when threatened they musk which gives off such a bad smell it repels all would be predators. Mine smell so bad at times people and animals alike find it hard to be around me or near me, much less eat me lol. But the extent of which my scent could be that bad is usually quite rare. Or well, just not that often. I guess when I am anxious or afraid and I start sweating, alot, I would smell bad. So in situations like this where a bear or whatever that's after me would be not interested, in fact, it would be repulsed or put off by me instead.

Probably the number one thing to keep in mind with bears is their unpredictability (so I've heard/read/discussed). So who knows what was really at play here. Some commenters have said the bear was sizing him up, circling him, another comment said the bear was just trying to get back on the trail the cyclist was on, and the guy was blocking his return, so the bear swung wider through the trees. And maybe the biggest thing the rider had going for him was, he wasn't acting like prey. And somewhere in that unpredictable bear's mind, he or she decided the rider wasn't a threat---at least not today.

My biggest fear about hiking or going in the forest. But, you wouldn't catch me this deep alone in the woods lol

I've had encounters with black bears that had me continually watching for them afterward, during the hike. The craziest one, was with a cougar. Crossed his path in the snow. He wasn't 50 yards away. I carefully continued on. I was on about a five hour hike. I was constantly stopping and doing a 360 degree scan, searching for it. I could just feel that it was watching. I was hunting, so wasn't terrified or anything. Sat and had lunch, at one point, and watched for it everywhere. Never once spotted it. Continuing on my hike, i made my way back down below, from the mountain/hill i had been on most the time. I was hiking upward when i crossed the cat. Now, back down below, i eventually crossed the bush road and did a long hike on the other side. I did a big loop, and i froze when i cut my own track again. There, walking right alongside my tracks in the snow, were cougar tracks. No way was it a second cat. I followed my tracks back out to where i crossed the road, and sure enough, the cat had followed me the entire time. But it was out of curiousity, probably wondering wtf i was doing walking through his territory. It's den would have been on that hill somewhere. There were rabbits everywhere, and plentiful with deer too, so it would never go hungry. But it was an eye-opener, as to how stealthy they can be. It was there the whole day, and i could sense that. And even scanning for him through the whole hike, knowing he was watching, i couldn't spot him once.

She was trying to find a scent of any other danger and something familiar to her.

That's such a crazy story! A close friend and I, two summers ago, were confronted by a momma and her cub. The cub was about one season old, and ran up a tree right near us. We watched for a few seconds. She (The momma) just so happened to be opposite to us and the cub, across the trail. She snarled in some bushes, rattling the bushes and it was terrifying. (Giving a bit of a bluff charge.) My friend had an axe on him, and my bear spray was still in my backpack, as I wasn't quite starting the trail to get it out. If the momma attacked, I would of been torn to shreds. I think we would of got out alive, but just the power and force of her beside us, it was something I haven't felt before. I've spent a lot of time around bears, but when a black bear isn't timid, and is defending something, they would be relentless. Luckily she didn't attack, and we slowly backed away, and got out my bear spray in time. After that the cub dropped out of the tree, and they went their separate ways. The next day my friend had a similar scare, as her and the cub were right beside his trailer, rummaging through the garbage. She was well over 300 lbs, and didn't give two shits my friend was around. I wonder what would have happened if your backpack didn't slip off?

Don't make sudden movement. This is her home, she is checking you out. Her home, not yours. 😊

Plot twist: The bear is a paid actor

He seemed to be giving you a decent amount of space, but it's very impressive how he could clearly smell the trail you left behind when you Shat your Bike-Shorts. 😅😅 Jk mate, you actually handled this situation about as good as anyone could. Well done.👏👏👏

Wow, that was frightening moment because you never know about these animals. They can change their mind in split of second. Really cool sighting anyway 😎

This guy said come on.. if choose your words wisely was a person!!! 😂

Who bikes in the deep woods?

Bears are like people, some good and some bad! We tempt fait each time we enter the domain of the Apex predator…. Own damn fault if something bad happens! My thoughts on this encounter: 1. The bear wasn’ hungry? 2.The bear was a better natured bear? 3. You were the not the focus of the bear at that time. Timothy Treadwell was killed for several reasons: 1. He came across a bad/rank bear. 2. The bears were going to food storage mode for hibernation which placed he and his girlfriend in a dangerous position 3. He never appreciated the fact that a bear is STILL a wild animal that is not a manipulative pet.

I pick door number three. Another viewer pointed out the Bear sniffing the air as she heads into the trees. Oh and T.Treadwell was tetched I think, whacko as in not all intact mentally. The movie Grizzly Man says it all. ☮

@@pull_pitch6012 NOT YOU! TT as in Tim Treadwell was wacko! Now you? You're too funny! You did everything right with the above bruin! 😊

Well done - you remained calm and didn't challenge (although your voice did sounded anxious at times). Film was unbelievably steady! Bikings the problem - you move too fast like prey fleeing predators.

Okay, I'm not a bear expert, but I read everything I can about safety in bear country. Biking is definitely a big problem, at least with black bears. Deer are their natural prey, and a mountain biker (or, for that matter, a fast runner) streaming through the woods is a very close mimic of a deer. If you believe that running away from a bear triggers their predatory response, then the same logic applies to (unknowingly) running or biking nearby a bear. ... I have hiked in black bear country (upper peninsula of Michigan), but I would never go jogging or biking there.

Nicely done Bob!

My camera would have been shaking

Beautiful country and I understand wanting to ride and enjoy it but it’s akin to shopping in downtown Detroit after midnight. Just not worth the risk to me.
