Last week I saw a big black tarantula hanging out in the bike lane.
A couple days ago, I high-tailed it past a large rattlesnake moseying along in my direction in the bike lane. It was at least 3 feet long and quite meaty. I figured it wasn’t coiled so it wouldn’t have time to strike, right? Needless to say I gave it a few feet of berth and gunned the engine to overtake with speed.
