I’ve avoided them, dodged them, even stopped to let them pass, but on Saturday morning, for the first time ever, I ran right over one.
I was with a group of cyclists returning from our Saturday morning ride when I noticed a snake on the bike path we were on. I called out ‘snake’ to warn others behind me but with a rider directly in front of me and several directly behind me, there was nothing I could do. My wheels went straight over the snake which I estimate was just under a metre long.
A few other riders followed me across the snake’s back. I imagine that he then headed off into the bush because riders in the group behind us didn’t report seeing the snake still on the pathway.
I certainly had no intention of hurting the snake or making it angry but I can assure you that I wasn’t going back to ask if it was alright. I think it needed some time to settle down.
