A 41-year-old mountain biker attacked by a black bear in Banff National Park may have been mauled over a prolonged period of time, the park's chief warden said Saturday. The mountain biker was wearing headphones at the time of the attack, a practice Syme said he doesn't recommend when hiking or biking in the mountain park.
