Almost looks like the bicyclist fainted.

I think he would have been stomped had the bike not been in the way

He definitely fainted. He thought it was all over. Scary situation but I laughed watching him fall.

Those moose are nothing to frick with. We were in Alaska and one wandered into town and was outside a restaurant where we were eating. A couple of our group jumped up with the intent to go take a picture with it. The waitress told them "Umm.. No! Do NOT go out there."

Meh, we had moose wander our neighborhood all the time in Eagle River. We just didn't bother them and they left you alone. My brother ran into one when we were chasing him around the house, scared the moose more than it did him.

Momma was kinda trapped in that area by the fence with her kids though, not a good idea to try and ride by her like that.

We rented a couple of cabin in no where Idaho on a trout stream a few years ago and a mother moose and baby walked into the center of the compound one evening. We'd seen them up the river the day before so we weren't really surprised. But damn those animals are huge and they will seriously hurt you if they feel like they need to.

A momma moose with calves is not something you want to encounter. It's not a pleasant experience. We came upon a mom and calf in Yellowstone and you could just see from her body language that we needed to get the frick out of there ASAP.

Yeah it can turn bad very quickly. Most of the time you're safe but putting yourself in that situation is not a good idea.

I believe it's not the first time that particular moose went after bikers. They had issues during a triathalon too

Someone needs to watch the full Facebook Live video so that my Dark Side of the Moose joke doesn't go completely unappreciated.

He should stay out of the way of the moose, especially with a baby in tow.
