They did the daddy long legs test on Myth Busters. The guy collected lots of them, put them in a container and inserted his arm. They were halmless, except one, that bit him towards the end of the experiment. So they can bite.
Edit, it was Episode 13
Episode 13: Buried in Concrete, Daddy-Longlegs, Jet Taxi
Jamie and Adam make a brave attempt to solve a legendary mafia mystery by searching for the decomposed body of Jimmy Hoffa, allegedly buried in the concrete under Giants Stadium. Will they meet the same fate as Geraldo Rivera at the tomb of Al Capone? The mythbusters then fire up a jet engine and find out if the power and force of a 737 could launch a taxicab 75 feet in the air. Finally, will Adam's arachnophobia prevent him from finding out if the daddy-longlegs is the most venomous spider? Brave indeed.
