    Saw my first snake the other day while mountain biking (yes, the first
    one on five years of mountain biking!) - in fact I damn
    near ran over it.

    Question: now that I'm spooked and paranoid, what protection (if any)
    do you other MTB'ers use against snakes - or do you just assume (as I
    have for five years) that you won't come across any.

    I would imagine long knicks wouldn't afford much protection

    Hi,

    I always carry patches to fix the punctures, but I am not sure if they work
    on skin ;-)

    Skin requires the old vulcanising type patch. Clamp it to your leg, light
    blue touch-paper, clench teeth.
