“So they plunged into the woods, tripping sometimes over the tree limbs knocked down during winter storms, crashing through bush as if they were on safari in Africa, and after a while Adam began to enjoy himself.”
“It’s cold as I pedal along, the wind like a snake slithering up my sleeves and into my jacket and my pants legs, to.”

I'm not asking you guys to tell me what is imagery or what the passage is about...I'm just asking if these paragraphs are imageries!

Yes, the first one is not as good an example.
The second one is very, very, good.

Imagery applies to the 5 senses, touch, taste, sound, smell, and sight. Onomatopoeias (sound words like CRASH and BANG) seem to be prevalent in your examples. Try a thesaurus, they will give you better words than "Cold" to describe something and your teacher or whoever you are writing for, will be more impressed. By the way, I only said what Imagery was because you were asking if they were imagery, which shows me and the other answerers that you do not know what imagery is, just trying to be helpful dear.

imagery is the use of words that allows the reader to pictire (vividly) what is being described by the writer.
ex.
stary, starry night
paint you palate with blues and gray
swirling clouds of violet haze
reflecting vincent's eyes of shining blue
colors changing hue
morning fields of amber grqin
weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.....
