Grizzly Attacks and Kills Mountain Biker Near Glacier National Park

News Link
About 10 years ago, I came around a corner fairly fast and surprised a black bear on the trail with a mama bear and 2 cubs nearby. I was able to stop about 15 feet from the 500 pound male, who had squared-off and was ready to charge. I put my bike in front of me, "got big" and raised my hands above my head while yelling as loud as I could. Then I clapped my hands sharply to sound like rifle shots and the bear ran into the forest - phew!
