Mountain Biker Attacked by Grizzly Bear Near Big Sky, Montana
@mybaben: Zombie Hillbillies of course... :) It was people, not bears that are the issue in "most" of the lower 48.
Actually, i gotta admit that with all the stories, articles, etc. I thought there was a lot more instances of murder/violence on the AP trail. I saw only 11 murders since they started tracking it in the 70's. (course 11 is kinda scary, but I guess the trail goes through 14 states so that's a lotta trail...)

Mountain Biker Attacked by Grizzly Bear Near Big Sky, Montana
@Cyberhatter: "Bear spray is more effective than the gun you will be willing to carry ridding a bike."
I think that's the more accurate point between bear spray and firearms. Obviously people kill bears every year with firearms, even handguns. So pretty sure they are also effective! But even a Glock 29 etc. Is still a lot of weight to ride with in a place you can get to it reasonably fast. (that chest holster above is perfect for hiking, but to be 100% for mountain biking it would need additional retention IMO)
@MikeyMT: No doubt we'd all be shitting bricks during a bear attack and have a much greater chance with a dispersing cloud of spray VS hitting a head shot, etc. AND hopefully the intent is just to get the bear to go away.
BUT if I lived in Alaska, or I guess Montana, then I think I'd consider carrying BOTH!

@rickybobby18: AGREE... if you build a bike too heavy or too light you'll end up on the wrong bike too often. Who wants to run into their friends shuttling and end up tip toeing down the trail on pins and needles cause you don't won't to break your near three thousand dollar wheelset while everyone else gets stuck waiting for you at the bottom... MEH!

I'd have to bring 2 wheel sets cause I typically change where I'm riding when I head out... :)
