Cute little bugger.
Yes I have done the same myself. Stopping to help move a Gopher snake, and some sort of small mammal, never could figure out what it was. Even made my husband stop the tandem and turn around when he saw a snake in the road, but it was to late for that snake, a car had already killed it, so I just moved it out of the road. When I ride on one particular bike path, I always yell "run squirrel run" so all the squirrels will know I'm coming, otherwise they run out in front of me every time. I hate accidentally killing anything, even snails when I walk.
