Maybe some kind of corn snake? He's in southern California, and the bike path was along the San Diego river.

Speaking as an owner of five snakes, they definitely have individual personalities. Although I wonder if it’s regional too? Most of the ones where I live seem to be lazy more than anything else.
As a kid we had two instances of large rattlers getting into our house and coming after us not to mention the many times I'd come across them in tall grasses. This has given me a heavy reason to give them distance.
