Before my wife took up riding she was my passenger as we were riding down the Blue Ridge Parkway. As we approached the Haw Creek overlook a young bear ran in front of us, running from our right to our left. Well, the left side of the roadway is a cliff face, so the bear turns and is running down the Parkway. Since we had to brake to keep from hitting him, we were going about the same speed, side by side, heading down the Parkway about eight feet apart for about 75 - 100 feet.
