Ok, this aughta put the whole "biker bit by dog" thing in perspective:

A cyclist attacked by a bear in Banff National Park is recovering following surgery to repair torn muscles in his arm. Park officials say it appears the 41-year-old victim was stalked by the bear, before being viciously mauled.

Yet another reason why this biker is a roadie through and through. To Ellen and me, "roughing it" means no Tivo.
