Cyclist bitten by eastern brown snake caught in her bike chain | ABC NEWS

A woman is recovering after she was bitten by an eastern brown snake that got caught in her bike chain on a northern NSW rail trail.

Eastern brown snakes are among the world's most deadly but it was the bike rider's lucky day, coincidentally a day before World Snake Day, and the reptile's bite failed to deliver venom.

A local snake catcher says snakes are common on the rail trail and users should always carry compression bandages.
