If memory serves, bower will try to download content from GitHub as part of this process -- I have had problems running bower (and npm) in certain networks, because the network has some ports blocked that prevent connectivity. You can try again on another network and see if you have better luck?
As an example, that step fails for me at work and at home when connected to work via VPN, but when I'm on my home network, it works just fine. Once I discovered the workaround, I never bothered to chase down exactly which ports / protocols / addresses were at fault, unfortunately.
