If you're moving at a decent clip I can't imagine the snake being able to time it's strike in time to nail you. But this is something I'd rather leave to theory and not find out for myself!

In my mountainbiking days we ran into rattlers in the trail quite frequently and we weren't doing 60 mph, you just rode around them. Even been chased down the trail at a pretty good clip by a wild mustang most likely because we got too close to his mares, bastard even tried to kick me.

I was leading a ride in Aug, going up lookout Mt. I saw what I thought was a limb in the road and gave a signal. When we stopped for gas I found out it was a copperhead. I had the bike pretty well leaned over in his direction too!

The closest picture I can find to how it was coiled is this - it's body was actually behind it, but its head was up about this high. It looked like it had been crossing the road and somebody got close and scared it.
