The woman was on the bicycle, not the bear.
It would have been more interesting if the woman had been on the bear. | Inga Åkerström from Boltjärn in northern Sweden found herself pedalling for her life on Monday when she was chased by a bear while out cycling. "I was on an upward slope when I saw something at the side of the road and began to wonder what it was. Then it raised its head and I saw that it was a bear," she told Dagbladet i Sundsvall.
After she had turned around and begun cycling back down the hill, she observed the bear coming towards her at top speed. Fortunately for Åkerström, she soon came upon her husband who was out walking the dog. Seeing that the object of its attentions now had company, the bear turned on its paws and fled back into the woods.
Now, I'm puzzled: Did she brake or ... did she keep on pedaling?
"God, it was awful. I hope I never have to go through anything like that again," said Åkerström.
No comment from the dog. |
