This thread has made me want to take another trip to Banff, the only place I've ever seen a moose crossing the street.

Now a moose, that would be great. I've also read about bear sightings on this baord, now that would help me develop my sprint.
I got "buzzed" by 4 kangaroos in W. Australia last year. I would have reached into my back pocket for my camera but I was completely in awe. It lasted about 20 secs as they came out of no where bounded along the road with me, crossed me and jumped over a 4 fence and disappeared. I love those moments, it reminds me why I cycle in the first place.
