David Souza was mountain biking, enjoying the Mills Peak Lookout Trail in California when all of a sudden a bear appeared on the trail.

Souza was going full speed when the bear moseyed onto the trail. It gave him no time to maneuver in any other direction and he ended up colliding with the unsuspecting animal.

The bear was gone before Souza could get up to see it, but he was able to grab this screenshot of it.

If I were Souza I’d be thanking my lucky stars that dirt was the only thing that bear at that day.
