I was so excited today, riding home from work on Barbur when I passed a dead snake in the bike lane. Just to be sure, I stopped, popped the kickstand, and walked back for a look. The startled snake was alive (!) but with a barrier running alongside, I decided to scoop him up and rescue him. Before I could do it, he found the crack he’d come through and retreated. Smart fellow, he had cruised into the bike lane for warm asphalt and/or bugs blowing up against the barrier from traffic. And he knew how to go back to the other side when his luck was running out. In a few weeks, I hope to see this fellow on the road.
