You know how it is: one minute you’re having a pleasant riverside cycle with your beau, the next you’re fending off two massive bears. Well, that’s what happened to one unfortunate husband and wife, when a weekend e-bike ride became a fight for survival when two grizzlies charged.

A husband and wife’s leisurely bike ride along a Canadian trail took a terrifying turn over the weekend when they spooked two grizzly bears, causing them to attack. Local authorities said quick thinking by the woman likely saved both their lives as she used bear spray to drive the animals away.
