Unexpected Roadblocks in the Turkish Mountains When you are cycling through the stunning mountain passes of Turkey, you expect to see breathtaking views, tough gradients, and quiet roads. But sometimes, the local wildlife demands your attention instead. In this short, unedited clip, a rather large snake takes its sweet time slithering across the tarmac right in front of my bike.
Encounters like this are a thrilling reminder of how wild the Turkish countryside can be!
