Wow. That was a close call and I say WOO HOO to what sounds like your stellar bike handling skills + those wonderful tires.
I have had some strange things happen to people around me over the past few weeks--lots of people having nightmares, old friends and seemingly lost objects reappearing from the void, etc...
As far as cycling stuff, my boyfriend chipped his new bike yesterday. Luckily I had the best ride I've had in a long time and nothing went remotely out of alignment.
But, I hear you on the weirdness of the times. Look at the weather-- 54 below in some places of the US, the flooding, landslides, avalanches, earthquakes, not to mention the tsunami.
Something's going on and sooner or later I think it will catch up to anyone with an iota of awareness.
I hope things are righted soon! I just want to ride my bike!!

Take care out there,
A.F.
