Brown bear mauls cyclist on JBER

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game says a group of cyclists encountered a bear on JBER Saturday morning.
Authorities say the group came across a brown bear with cubs while cycling near Clunie Lake.
The cyclists used bear spray to fend off the sow, but one cyclist was “knocked down and roughed up,” according to Fish and Game. The extent of the victim’s injuries is not clear, but the victim was taken to the hospital.
No further details were immediately made available.
