    Is this sarcasm? That’s a black bear, generally safe, you can tell it’s not protecting it’s babies because it ran away from the dog. Also I live in a very rural area and I’ve only ever seen a black bear once on trails. Meanwhile I’ve almost run over a dog not on a leash several times, I can’t imagine how difficult riding with a leashed dog would be.

      Yeah, it’s sarcasm. Hence the “off-leash bear” and that a bear outpacing you would cause emotional damage. But it seems I did a pretty shitty job of making a joke.
