In all seriousness, I hit something flat in the road (so hard the bars were *almost* yanked from my hands) and immediately blew out the front tire and it was all I could do to not crash.... thankfully I was going straight. Also thankfully, I had just come off a steep hill and it was relatively flat, so I certainly understand your point, I just don't understand what the car should have done differently. Most car drivers don't understand what delicate, frail things are cyclist are and don't give us the space we probably need.
