A 2000 study in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, found that though hikers greatly outnumber bikers on trails, the number of bear encounters for the bikers was disproportionately high. The study attributed the numbers to bikers' increased speed and stealth when traveling.

Usually it's the pedestrian who gets the worst of it, but a big Grizzly changes the odds. Traveling stealthy gets you up close and personal with nature, you just have to remember there's some nature you don't want personal. At least clip a card into the spokes.
Make do...
