Yes, about the surprise... I was on my feet before anyone else could do anything. The guy in the car behind the truck that I passed behind (and in front of the car) looked out his window in curiosity as to why I fell and I pointed at my bike doing a headstand in the road. Then I said to him, "I betcha I can't do that again if I tried."
I pulled the front wheel out of the gap and decided that someone up above is telling me to do something different, today. So, I rode down the sidewalk instead.
Today, I was back to normal. Cars left room along the right edge and I filtered through up to the light (it's usually red); trackstand; turn right on to Rt 40.
