He was bitten by the grizzly, but managed to escape after kicking the bear in the face.

Yep, that was my buddy Lyle. It was pretty surprising to be watching the National over the Internet here in England and see my friend getting interviewed about the bear attack he survived. Ol' Swift Foot shall be his new nickname I guess.
Here is the story from another friend of mine who was there at the time:

As for the bike, here's a story. A guy I know (incidentally Lyle knows him too) was mountain biking near Canmore. This guy is a hardcore mountain biker and bikes all over the Rockies on a regular occasion. Anyway he was flying along this trail one day, came over a little ridge and t-boned a grizzly bear with his bike. Unsure what to do and confident he was about to get eaten, he lifted the bike above his head and started shouting at the bear. Miraculously, the bear, still dazed from being biked into, just gave him a quizzical look and sauntered back into the woods and everyone lived happily ever after. [/b][/quote]
Did he get the bear's insurance?
