Amitoj - Sounds like a close call! Glad you didn't break anything! I'm sure the SUV didn't stop to check on you, or even slow down!

Less traffic than usual on my ride this morning. They had a water main break last night at one of the intersections on my route, so the street was completely blocked to motor vehicles. I went around the first barricade blocking my lane, then under the yellow tape that went across the entire street about 50 feet further. There was a car coming up behind me that saw me go around the barricade, so she went around it too. I stopped to look in the hole at the pipe that broke, and laughed while watching the car do a 5-point u-turn to go back. I enjoyed a traffic free 1.5 miles after that!
