When I was a kid I was at a park in Sacramento CA in the 80s and stood about 5 feet from a mountain lion with my friend. It was behind a bush. The adults didn't believe us until an older kid brought it up. Luckily the Mountain Lion was sick and didn't kill us. I got on the news though.

The article mentions two previous attacks by a mountain lion on cyclists, which I did not expect. One of the victims was a professional cyclist. I honestly thought that would be fast enough to avoid mountain lions (though obviously ambushing doesn’t require you to be fast, just well timed)
