Canada has bears, the United States has cougars, and Europe has cows. These four-legged friendly giants can be found all over the trails and have a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. While not overtly angry, they can be a bit stubborn at times and it's clear who has the right of way. Many riders had to politely move around the cattle in order to get to the start of their downhill run, all while avoiding the ever-present cow patties. I took a break from chasing riders around to find out more about some of the locals who call Innsbruck home. Here are just a few of the friends I made:
