Bears are having a tough time -- they seem to be in bicyclists' way all the time. Back in June, a guy heading downhill on a bike hit a bear at about 45mph, and just today another bear got hit by a bicyclist on his way to school. I could blame high gas prices, resulting in more quiet bicycles and fewer noisy cars to scare off bears, or I could blame global warming for causing bears to move closer to human habitats, or I could just blame bicyclists for not looking where they're fucking going. There are bears around, people!
