    Mountain Bikers attacked

    No way were these two guys mountain bikers. I saw their bikes on the news and they were old road bikes, one with a basket. I suggest they were riding a dirt road in the mountains. http://13wham.com/news/nation-world/gallery/crews-respond-to-mountain-lion-attack-near-north-bend#photo-2
