You know how it is: one minute you’re having a pleasant riverside cycle with your beau, the next you’re fending off two massive bears. Well, that’s what happened to one unfortunate husband and wife, when a weekend e-bike ride became a fight for survival when two grizzlies charged.

A woman used bear spray to save her husband’s life in a grizzly bear attack on a Canadian trail. On Saturday, the couple was e-biking along the Kootenay River when they encountered two grizzly bears, according to British Columbia’s Conservation Officer Service.
