Summary
A biker on Anchorage’s Dome Trail got into a terrifying close encounter with a brown bear that charged after he tried to appear intimidating — the bear knocked him off his bike, leaving him with serious scratches and bites. Though he had bear spray, he couldn’t reach it in time. Officials say the bear was likely startled and reacted instinctively, not aggressive by nature — and it won’t be hunted. The trail, known for salmon streams and past bear incidents, remains a reminder that when you enter the wild, you’re stepping into their territory. Stay safe: if you face an aggressive animal, call Alaska wildlife troopers or your local Fish and Game office. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
