Bear on a Bike

Product Information

The average speed of a bear is about 10 miles per hour. The average speed of a bicycle is approximately 20-25 miles per hour. It is unlikely that a bear will try to outrun you, but it will probably try to chase you. Bears can run up to 35 mph, so if you turn around and run, you will only encourage the bear to chase you and give you the upper hand. A bike will also allow you to ride at a faster speed than a bear. Bear is delivering a present to Mouse - but how can he get there? Bear takes whatever means of transport he can find: a bike, a lorry, a bus, a trolley - with lots of scrapes and japes along the way. It’s going to be a very battered present by the time he reaches Mouse! A beautifully simple text paired with hilarious illustrations. It has all the vital elements for beginning readers: a hugely enjoyable story, great characters, text perfectly matched to hugely humorous, story-telling pictures (these are visually cumulative in places and every one is a potential starting point for children’s own flights of fancy) rhyme and rhythm, speech bubbles, signs – great to see a bookshop among them and more…With its circular structure what more can any one ask? - Red Reading Hub

If you see a bear charge towards you, run the other way as fast as you can. It would help if you tried to outrun the bear as long as possible. There are some rules of behavior that will help you avoid confrontation with a bear. First of all, you must remain calm. Bears might mistake human screams for the sounds of prey animals.

When paramedics arrived, Milner was brought to Vancouver’s Lions Gate hospital, where he was treated for injuries and like a minor celebrity after word spread of his encounter. I did a flip over him. I pretty much kissed the bear and then I guess I flew through the air,” Milner told North Shore News. The 30-year-old landed hard against his side and the bear – likely frightened – bolted into the woods.
