Tis’ the season, when animals of all shapes and sizes start preparing for winter in the mountains. The squirrels start hyper-preparing their nut stores, bears start hyper-chowing food to store fat for the winter, and mountain bikers go on hyper-drive to get every bit of summer before the trails turn to a mucky mess with fall precipitation. Well, two mammals met recently in the Whistler Bike Park when this guy gapped a bear – the animal coincidentally looked scared out its mind. The video was posted to Reece Wallace’s Instagram page with a simple caption: “Dude gaps bear.” This doesn’t look set up but it’s hard to know why the filmer didn’t give the cyclist a heads up?
