Really, you are having bikers getting picked off? You'd have to be really lucky (or unlucky) to spot a big cat around here. I do remember hearing about a home video made in CA a while back which showed a mountain lion in the back ground stalking a toddler in someone's back yard. The largest cat I've ever seen in the wild was a bob cat while hiking in Yellowstone and they are small as wild cats go, almost cute.

I ran into a large black bear while hiking in CA by myself and I can honestly tell you that getting as close as I did resulted in an immediate boost to my heart rate, you have an almost primal reaction to running into a large predator like that. I went through a sort of mental debate where I wondered if my husband would believe my story without a picture, I had my camera around my neck and I tried to remember if I ever heard about a bear feeling threatened by the sound of a motor drive. I nixed the picture idea and sort of bowed my way out of there since he wasn't the slightest bit afraid of me. He was that wonderful cinnamon color that makes them look like big golden retrievers.
