I wouldn't have given that guy any credit as a biker or a bear cage match wrestler, but luckily the article pointed out that he played hockey in college, some 30 years ago.

I opened this expecting to see details of Survival man Gryllys' divorce from his cheating tramp of a wife.

for some reason it's hilarious to me that he and his nephew are both named tim egan. adds a sort of "steve holt!" flare to an already bizzarre story.
call it a hunch, but something tells me they have matching bike helmets with "tim" written across the front.

I love the people commenting that he should be arrested for speeding (the speed limit was 35 and he was going 45).

Ah memories.
I once ran over a marmot while I was speeding down Flagstaff Mountain on my mountain bike. Right over the middle of that sucker. I was going as fast as humanly possible and he just scurried out into the road. Swerving would've been suicide so I rode it out and it was quite smooth, really. Even on my hardtail. Marmots just aren't that bulky, I suppose they are mostly fur. I guess ridin' it out over a bear would've required one helluva bunny hop or maybe the suspension travel you'd find on a downhiller would do?
Anyway I digress. I looked back at mr. marmot and the spunky litte fella was up on his hind legs, givin' me the stinkeye. I reckon he wasn't keen on having broken ribs and a tread mark on his coat.
I watched my back whenever I rode that section afterwards. I figure, though, it was just payback for the time the little bastards chewed into my nalgene and drank up my half liter of vodka at the lower saddle on the Grand.
