This particular cyclist was even thicker than the average. He chose to
cycle through an area well known as a meeting point for bears - and where
previous attacks had occured.

I suppose he though he had a 'right' to cycle there.

"that lies at the root of the attacks, since bears can easily be startled by
the sudden appearance of a cyclist traveling at speed, forcing them to go
into defensive mode, particularly if there is a cub around"

So, they terrorise bears as well as pedestrians.

No doubt the usual cyclist ******* will be along to claim it was the bears
fault.

Two cyclists are walking through the Indian rainforest.

One pucks up a large stone and throws it into the nearby undergrowth.

A mighty roar and almighty disturbance reveals that the stone has hit a
sleeping tigress, who now charges at the pair.

"Run!", shouts the missile-throwing one.

"Why should I?", asks the other.

"It wasn't me who threw ths stone."












[OK, it was Irishmen in the version I originally heard. But I decided to
remove the race element.]

Very liberal of you.
Cyclists are the new black, apparently.
