I've only hit one and must admit that I raised both my legs up as high as I could without upsetting the bike or falling off... like a scared little girl.
He was about 4 or 5 feet long and I knew he could raise up for the one last bite like what happened to Particle Man.
Now I've caught a few snakes in the yard and turned them loose back in the yard so I'm not overly afraid of snakes but the one in the road on the bike came up sort of fast and I didn't know what kind it was and that's different.
