Until I looked at the pics I thought this was just a case of typical
Usenet spelling and subject matter, "with BARE behind" seemed more
likely.
Silly me, I should have remembered that it is only in
rec.bicylces.RACING that mens bare behinds are the subject of so much
interest.

Well, it's certainly a better way to cycle with a bear than this poor
fellow managed:

Two important things I learned from this article

1) Rocky Mountain News knows what "road rash" is - I didn't think main
stream media would use the term.

2) Bears are afraid of deer.

They would around here. What would the alternative be? Scrapes due
to sliding on pavement? Too wordy.

> 2) Bears are afraid of deer.


Or, deer are actually carnivores that feast on wounded prey. Four
legged vultures with big soulful eyes - no one would ever expect that,
right? So it must be.

Lots of cyclists in Boulder County. Also, the motorcycle
contingent probably knows about road rash.

Deer are carrion eaters. The deer was probably
skulking along, checking to see if the bicyclist had
checked out.
