Short story here on the awesome bear. The bear name is Lucky Bear. Started from California here in the USA. The bear is traveling around the world by request. If you like to have Lucky Bear visit your area. Then please check out Lucky Bear offical website. So far the bear has gone to Norway, Germany, Canada, England and a few cities here in the USA. Then the bear came to Bike Mike from Canada on September 13, 2007. So that Mike can take Lucky Bear in the Multiple Sclerosis bike tour. Lucky Bear had fun of course. In the photo you see.
