Another reason to wear a bike helmet

I love how, when Alaska makes the national headlines, it's always stuff like this.

Bear mauls teen during Anchorage bike race.

The bit that I found most memorable:

"Rick Sinnott, a wildlife biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game ... said the girl was fortunate to be wearing a bike helmet because the bear had bitten her head."

See? YOUR MOTHER WAS RIGHT. Always bike with your helmet on, because you never know when a grizzly bear is going to try to bite your head off.

I really ought to start carrying a gun when I go on those long woods hikes with the dogs.
