Bear, Bicycle, Caption Contest

The best caption for this photo wins a Grand Trunk water bottle

Here at Wend we are experts at finding ways to enjoy the bare necessities (mother nature’s recipes) of life. Whether picking pawpaws or prickly pears; looking under rocks and plants; or stealing a glance at the fancy ants, we know how to forget about our worries and our strife. But at the end of the day, nothing quite makes us forget about our worries and our strife like bears. You know, like bears sticking their heads in trailers, bear-themed sleeping bags, dancing bears, bears who wield ice skates to kill humans, bears breaking into Subways, Oregon bears, Montana bears, bears, bears and more bears. Nothing gets us quite as excited as seeing bears doing, well, just about anything. Perhaps our admiration for the bears’ lifestyle – the notion that the bare necessities are why a bear can rest at ease – is what draws us. Or maybe it’s just because we’re all rain-crazy here in Portland and figured it would be fun to stop working in front of a gloomy window and look up photos of bears instead.

Either way, we know that you, dear reader, can appreciate a good bear photo as well as any of us – even if it does look slightly Photo-shopped. So when we came across this photo of a bear interacting with a bicycle, our next move was obvious: Caption contest. And we figured, who better to team up with for the contest than our friends over at Grand Trunk?

So prove your wit by submitting the best caption and you will win a Grand Trunk water bottle to help wash down some of the pride.

The contest:

Come up with a caption for this photo then write it in the comments section. We will re-run the photo on the Wend blog with the winning caption on Friday.

Did you take this photo? I’d love to give you credit. Just send me a link to your website.
