Mountain Biker Nearly Crashes Into Mama Bear and Cubs in Wild Video
The chances of ever running into a bear or getting attacked by a bear are very slim. In fact, the World Animal Foundation reported that you have about a 0.02% chance of being attacked by a bear. But despite these low odds, there are still close encounters and sightings.
Take for instance this insane video from a mountain biker known on TikTok as @mertklc98. He was biking through a beautiful wooded trail when he nearly crashes into a mama bear. You have to watch this clip to even believe it!

O.M.G. Our hearts just stopped! He seriously got so close to that mama bear and then a little bit later, he rode right past the baby cubs climbing up the tree. We don't know how he stayed so calm.
"Big respects for apologizing. Even though they don't understand," commented @leggomaeggoplz. Right?! We wouldn't even have the capacity to apologize because we'd be too busy getting the heck out of there. But hey, maybe the apology did work because he got out of there with no problems. LOL!
Although this biker looked like he was speeding through the woods, bears are very fast and they can keep up with bikes. That's why it's important to be prepared for wildlife anytime you're out biking, hiking, or camping, especially with your fur babies. To keep your dogs safe in bear country, please keep them on a leash. The last thing you'd want is for them to run off. Be sure to keep their food in an air-tight container, and clean their bowls, and the area around where they ate. You might want to consider putting a bear bell on your dog as well. This will create extra noise to let any bears in the area know you're coming, giving them time to take off.
