Thanks for the link to an excellent article, Will. It's been bookmarked.
I was aware of Brad Treat's fatal bear encounter from some original reports last year. I hadn't realized he had actually collided with the bear though. Adding bells would be an excellent option, as would an air horn. And keep the speed down (20 to 25 mph down Sourdough probably way to fast (but way fun on my Hilsen)). Yes bears are a risk. But keep in mind one comment to the story reminding us that "the most dangerous animal is the one that walks upright, wears clothes, and can be very unpredictable." Now just need handlebar mounts for an air horn, bear spray, bells, cyclocomputer, h'bar bag (it's getting crowded) GPS, smahtfone, headlamp ...
