Boo! Hiss! What a bunch of horse pucky. Phonier than my granny's teeth. Wish I knew how to put a Bronx Cheer in print.

The video is an obvious fake on so many levels, both observable and intrinsically.

I am or was an avid bicyclist, on a road bike alone I could maintain 25 by GPS or Speedo for short distances. In a group an amateur can do this and better for a while under good conditions. Professionals of course can do it longer. Kitted up on a trials bike they can do better. A bear would likely still catch them unless they had a start.
Wind resistance increases as the square of the speed so without drafting you hit a wall.

As far as running goes, the bear can do better almost 400 feet in 9 seconds which is better than most sprinters, and while he isn't a distance runner he is a good quarter miler.


On a MB, with MB gearing, and soft trail, very few are going to hit 20 much less maintain it for any distance.

I basically figured that the bear was not really in a full persute mode and was being more teritorial than predetorial, of course giving it some thought this video is so wrong on so many levels.

I watched the video once and was so excited about it I just posted it here without giving a second to think "Is this real?", I could have saved myself some embarrassment if I did!

Here is a real grizzly charging a bike... (some strong language as to be expected from a person almost being eaten by a griz)
