Would love more context on this video. Did they know the cyclist? Did they know the wolf? Did the wolf need help for wounded pack brethren? Was the wolf itself sick or starving? Did they just love to honk and leave their blinkers clacking? Where is this malarchy happening and what language are they speaking? The world will never know. We take a look in tonight's episode of Unsolved Mysteries.

Wolves tend to use roads as an easy path to travel, so probably just passing through. https://apnews.com/article/wolves-business-deer-science-environment-and-nature-90a1504254242227e9aa2b326f3fa383

Why would you doubt that? There's a reason you don't run from wolves and just make yourself big and scary. You run, and prey drive kicks in. The context of the cyclist was probably just right for triggering that.

Is a long time cyclist, I've seen very few wild animals on my bike rides. I'm surprised if you bears but usually they just turn tail and booted into the bush as soon as we make sight of each other. Even stuff like Bobcats and cougars I can count the times I've actually seen them over 40 years on one hand. That's not to say they haven't seen me I just never saw them.

I've had turkeys straight up run directly at my bike, playing a game of chicken, trying to attack me. I'm like "dude, I'm 125 pounds of human on a bike moving at 25mph. You are a turkey. This doesn't end well for you."

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

We don't have wild turkeys here in British Columbia accepting a few locations where they are releases from farms. But there are gross and peahens. I've killed a few of those when they've gotten startled while mountain biking and promptly flown through the spokes of my front wheel. Once it happened, I dumped my bike after getting covered in a blood and feathers from the gushing neck artery. When I caught up, one of the guys pulled out of cell phone to call 911 thinking I've been seriously injured

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I was a little bit stunned from falling. But when they finally got the story out of me and were talking with the operator on the phone, things calm down pretty quickly. But one of the drivers who got called before this got canceled made it a point to talk to me about not calling emergency services over fowl involved crashes.

The biker "God this fucking car just GO AROUND stop honking at me!"
Idk what he said in the other language but I think the biker finally realized by the end, he looked pretty rattled. "holy fuck I was being hunted". Better than than the 14 year old who got mauled by a BEAR in the middle of a damn race though, it's why I don't bike. Or run. Or exercise. Indoors for me thanks.

I live in Berlin and the hate between drivers and cyclists is so bad here that your statement would, without a doubt, be something that some cyclists here would say if you showed them this video.

2 years ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 0

To be fair the hate between drivers and pedestrians is equally bad. Also the hate between drivers and other drivers. Damn drivers, they ruined driving!
One time I drove through Berlin I had a guy cut me off at an intersection so he could get out of his car, hammer against my window, yell at me and spit against my window. All of that because I didn't brake to let him merge after he tried to pass 5 cars between 2 parking cars on the right lane. I was so baffled I didn't even know how to react.

As a pedestrians, I worry much, much more about cyclists than drivers. At least drivers stick to the roads, while a cyclist may injure or kill you anywhere on the sidewalk.

This year alone has been hectic for cyclists of any sort. Lots of video clips of drivers flooring it on purpose to plow through a cyclist. It's become some weird sick trend of its own where people see it and repeat it because the consequences are essentially non-existent. Very few incidents are being handled with the assailant winding up in police custody.

The following list shows various types of wolf attacks, un/provocked, predatory, rabid, unknown, & in the case of 200 attacks in Russia, various, which I presume covers the aforementioned varieties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wolf_attacks Here's a link to dog attacks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_dog_attacks Though I do note that I couldn't get both lists to be fatal, or mixed attack only, which would have given a better comparison.

To be fair, yes it's astronomically rare, and wolves aren't going to just run around and eat/kill people, but I'm sure those 9 people didn't think it'd happen to them either. In a case like this video, why take the chance?

2 years ago | Likes 53 Dislikes 0

Right so you want him to chance his life on a statistic? Is the wolf is bound by the laws of the forest to only attack that rarely? Show your statistic to the 9 people who were attacked. Ridiculous, as a living being I have a right to protrct my personal space and safety. Would the wolf be okay if I approached it? No...same goes the other way.

2 years ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 2

You've misunderstood what he said. He meant that scaring the wolves of would have done nothing. The cyclist was more likely to die of a random bodily issue. So the driver pulling him over and giving a health checkup isn't 'bad' but equally unnecessary. Something being unnecessary doesn't mean it's bad to do it per se

2 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 18

That wolf looks pregnant.. and it looks like that as soon as the cyclist notices her, the wolf quits. She might be desperate for food. A desperate wolf will attack a human if they think they can. Ofc, this is speculation on my part, I can't prove she's pregnant from here not can I say what she's thinking.

Or maybe the wolf is fat from people feeding it and it thinks this dude will throw some food.

You are so so wrong. A quick search will show that. There are also unverified reports of dead people, for example a case in northern Greece where they found the skull of a trekker. Likely wolves, though they also accused wild dogs.
In any case, a large predator stalks you, it is not to make friends with you

2 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

"child lifting" to describe predatory attacks in which the animal silently enters a hut while everyone is sleeping, picks up a child, often with a silencing bite to the mouth and nose, and carries a child off by the head.Such attacks typically occur in local clusters, and generally do not stop until the wolves involved are eliminated

Damn, tell me how wolves are cool, until they snatch your child or pets. The good thing, is that theyre so scared of us that the interaction with humans is minimal

I don’t think wolves can ride bikes very well, so probably

2 years ago | Likes 21 Dislikes 2

Definitely not. Wolves can run up to 65kmh for short distances. I have a carbon fibre road bike like this, and I can get up to 38-40kmh on a flat road for very short distances. 35kmh is the fastest speed that I can maintain for a longer distance. Competitive cyclists can do much better, but they don't go much faster than 50kmh. The average speed of Tour de France is 41kmh.

No, the guy wasn't even paying attention. It would have gotten close enough to start sprinting before the guy saw him. By the time the guy noticed, the wolf would already be shooting out of the edge of the woods taking him down off his bike. The only thing that guy could have done is get in the car with the other people.

I once barely "outran" (dog lost interest) a farmers dog on my mountain bike. The dog had a longer way through the long grass which reached up over his belly. Additionally if you think about a rectangular field: I was on the road along the side and the dog was running the diagonal.

If a wolf can sprint at 60kph, and the cyclist can sprint at 40kph (very average cyclist), assuming the wolf can sprint for 15 seconds, the cyclist needs about 83m head start to not get bitten by the wolf.

The dude that just won the Tour of Flanders did 270 kilometers at an average of 30.97 mph. I get that dude is the best of the best, but it seems like most experienced riders could manage a decent sprint speed heading on a flat asphalt road instead of uphill on cobbles in the rain.

Yep. Cyclist here. On a straightaway, riding a hybrid, I can hit 35 for short bursts of a couple/few mins, and 45-ish if there's a little bit of a downgrade assisting me. 18-22 cruise. A wolf can easily sustain a chase if he's that close, and there is NEVER just one wolf. I would NOT want that furry asshole drooling after me with designs on dinner.

That is not a difficult speed to get to on a flat surface on a road bike at all. My bike is geared for touring (lower speeds) and I can reach 28-30 from pedaling. Professional cyclists average 28-30 on a full course.

Lone wolves are common enough. My guess would be a scout though. This is very unusual and suspicious behavior for an animal that isn't hunting. It appears to be pacing and slowly closing the gap on the bicyclist.
