To add more specifics to answer your question: - a 100-200 mm telephoto lens (minimum) and tripod go a long way to making fruitful a wait in a well chosen hide. These are, of course, unwieldy and impractical for impromptu shots on a bike. Grin.
- Short the above, an inexpensive point and shoot camera with image stabalization and decent telephoto (Canon Elph 180 or 190) are a quickdraw solution with a reasonable chance of success if kept in a handlebar "feed" style bag. Those are the only two practical suggestions I have. In general, a mobile phone won't cut it for any but the lucky (or unlucky, if you get too close to the bear/moose/elk/couger/badger...) encounter with wildlife that pose. And, sometimes, they do.
