lots of responses, quite a range of ideas. interesting. I have very little sympathy for human eaten by animals. thats sort of how this all goes, life and stuff, and its good for humans to be reminded they are not always the top of the food chain or superior to every being they lay eyes on.
i have seen bear, coyote, cougars, and more on my rides, for me that is part of why i ride. Im fully aware of and willing to make that trade off, every time. anyone who thinks they stand a better chance vs humans and cars needs to think again. 1 death in 94 years in Washington by cat, vs how many cyclists have been hit by a car? yeah, i like my odds in the wild.
