OK, What would you do . . . Let me set the stage.
I'm riding home on a busy road. Coming up on a narrow underpass, with_maybe_two feet of shoulder. I'm pedeling along as fast as I can, trying to beat the 18 wheel truck behind me through the underpass. So, I get into the underpass and suddenly see a LARGE 3 to 4 foot snake slithering along on MY shoulder and I'm going waaaay to fast to stop.

In that split second, snake over ruled large truck bearing down on me and I swerved into the lane to miss the snake. Truck was a little bit closer than I thought and lay on his horn. Thank god I've been improving my heart rate or I would have keel over right there and been flattened by the truck.

So what would you do?
A. As described above.
B. Hit the snake and fall into the path of the truck.
C. Not race trucks through narrow openings.
D. I'm open to suggestions.

All in all quite a split second adventure! bikerHen
