UK - the lion was not "deranged"- this young male lion has lost his mother early and was basically starving because he had not been taught to hunt properly. Reynolds was riding at "hunting" time (dusk) and bent over and occupied with fixing his bike - easy prey for a young lion with an empty stomach. Lion's normal prey is deer. If riding in a area where deer roam people should be aware that a lion could be in the area. In all my encounters with lions I was never afraid of attack but I was always "aware" and cautious. It also pays to do how to act just in case. If faced off with a lion 1) don't make eye contact 2) make lots and lots of noise - having a whistle is a good thing - blow it hard! 3) wave arms and act "BIG". Lions believe in turning and running if there a confrontation.
