Closest of close calls

I mean, he did hit you, though only marginally. Think about what would have happened if he clipped another car and then drove off.

This made a lot of sense to me. I don't know if I would have had the presence of mind under the circumstances, but it would have been great to ask to see his license, record that info, get his license plate, and insurance info.

1) Who knows what might crop up for you when you get home & look at any damage to your bike, etc.

2) Maybe just having you take all that information might let him know the seriousness of his having just HIT a bicyclist.

Really glad you're OK!! So sorry for this experience for you!

You know, you had a huge adrenaline rush, and your body needs to do something with it. It's a natural reaction to cry.

My son got his foot caught in an escalator once (he was ultimately okay), and I was all cool, calm and collected until we got in the car, and then I just BURST into tears and couldn't see to drive for about half an hour.

So whatever your body does to process all that, let it. I'm glad you weren't hurt.
