The internet was abuzz with nostalgia when an old video resurfaced, bringing back memories of an extraordinary sight from years ago. The star of the show? A big 250-pound bear named Tim, captured everyone's attention in Arkhangelsk, Russia, by taking a unique ride through the city streets in a motorcycle sidecar.
Tim, along with his trainer from the Area 29 circus and a biker from the Polar Wolves club, stunned observers as he cruised through Arkhangelsk's bustling streets.
The video, originally posted on X by the user @Natureisamazing, with a caption that said "A bear riding in a motorcycle sidecar waving to people. Just a normal day in Russia," quickly gained popularity, garnering an impressive 11 million views in just one day. The renewed interest sparked a flood of over a thousand comments, showing how fascinated internet users are with bears riding motorcycles.
One user exclaimed, "Bears are human too!" Another person said, "This is amazing," and used a lot of heart emojis.
Tim's motorcycle adventures have become quite a spectacle, with the friendly bear having previously caught attention on a similar ride just last month in Syktyvkar. According to a circus official, Tim's outings on the motorcycle are carefully planned with local authorities to make sure both the bear and bystanders stay safe.
Though the exact date of the original video is unclear, one thing is certain: Tim's irresistible charm never fades. The video's resurgence has once again captivated online audiences, proving the timeless appeal of special moments.
