wow :-O
I was biking up the hill on the North Shore just above Mt. Seymour Rd. by the power lines runing E-W, the bear was sitting in the middle of the dirt road, just about the point where was the entry point for the trail to go down. I noticed and stopped about 20m from the bear. The bear noticed me, we both stood the ground and stared at each other for about 20 seconds (love from the first sight ;) ) and after that I decided that this relationship wasn't for me so I slowly proceeded wtih caution and turned away, and went down the way I came up :P Looked back and the bear was still standing in the same spot and looking back at me, probably thinking "buhahahahahaha I won".
cheers
