OK, was riding around near U of M on Thursday and what did I see in the bush?
First time in my life to see a coyote in the “wild”… make that CITY. I only saw it for a few seconds, but one thing really stood out, it was WAY bigger than I thought a coyote would be. Cool.
Tinker Creek Cycle is a small bike shop located in Tinker Creek Manitoba, just a few miles south of Morden. We service bicycles and sell Rocky Mountain Bikes in the local community, but really we're more about getting out and enjoying the incredible mountain bike trails right out our own back door.
Take care, James

That’s funny, I just got back from the Hills, and I spooked a wolf while riding!… just about crapped myself.

When I did a search for a photo for the post, I actually found a page on Prov of MB website about them, there was even info on what to do if you corner one and are about to attacted – OK. Apparently always fight back. Good to know.

Yeah, fight back eh? I have seen a few coyote, but never something this big!.. maybe I was a bit dizzy from climbing, but still!

Seems to be a good year for coyotes. Seen a few healthy ones driving to work but not riding, in close proximity like this. Pretty special.

That’s awesome Kevin! I can’t believe an animal so wild would even come near the city…
I had a run-in with a Black Timberwolf last year at sandilands…. I didn’t know what the heck it was- until i did some research and found out that there were black timberwolves and they were actually fairly common… beautiful animals tho
