Two moose meets cyclist

Got this linked to me trough facebook., What a great movie, It happened in Gevingåsen in Norway.
I dont know the person who put it on facebook, but I know that this is to great of a scen to just be shown there... tryid to find it elsewhere but couldn,t. so therefor I put it here.

[@MemoryLaneCinema]

[@lennytompkins9767]

I think "Finn Babby" was just being sarcastic. The vast majority of US citizens are fairly sensible people, but due to media saturation and other factors, what gets played up is outrageous behavior and nonsense. Of course, there's a kernel of truth in everything...the US is somewhat isolated geographically and we have opportunistic political leaders who only think in the short term, and tend to influence many of their constituents in that direction as well. That's a fairly recent phenomenon though. If you had visited the US in the 1960s or before, it was a completely different place.

[@harrymills2770]

Lenny Tompkins : Yes. Once the people really understood they could vote themselves a living, there was no shortage of candidates promising just that, and getting elected. That's why we're in debt up to our eyeballs, with no end in sight. Fascist/socialist philosophy worked its tentacles in what was once a wonderful experiment in self-government. Now the people have given up their rights to the new aristocracy we call "bureaucrat." And boy do they lord it over us, now!

Let’s also take time to appreciate the excellent rural cycling infrastructure.

[@tom1tomek1]

I know this Malvikvegen (Malvik road) very well. I used it often if I didn't want to take E6 returning from the airport (near Værnes station). The road is lit up at night and even then I saw elks (moose is American and Canadian name, I think) parading on that path. The two elks you see are still very young calves and they were not a thread to a biker. But the bull with huge antlers can only be unfriendly when with newly born calves. With antlers, he will be over 9 feet tall! You may try gently handle them apples. They will take them or ignore you. Elks don't have upper teeth so they don't bite. Cheers.

That's very true, living in Canada driving late is quite dangerous and people who do it when theres a sign that says "moose passing" they never think straight, a few people almost got ran over by a moose, not the other way around lol

I just “chilled”, thinking thoughts like “Hi guys, I’m ok, you? I’m just going home”, while I continued on at a slow pace. They just let me through, not much reaction.
