I don't think that a bicycle is what you need


Seems I'm not the only one who thinks this. If you click through to the image on Flickr, you'll find this:
Not sure that I'd want to be up against a Lion with a Smith and Wesson, either. Maybe one of these:
Model 500 Magnum. I don't expect that shooting this would be pleasant, but neither would getting eaten by a lion.

Jim gets the bicycle while Marlan waits in the safety of the jeep :-)

Brigid, heh.

Just as the mother lion protects her cubs, you can protect your children with a Remington shotgun.

I don't think I'd want anything smaller than, say, a .375H&H Magnum if I was in that situation...

Pistolero, I'm with you. The section on lions in "Death in the Tall Grass" is pretty harrowing.

I'd not only want a .375 double, I'd want a Professional Hunter as a backup.

Or a squad of Marines. ;-)
