This morning, I was biking to work down Oxford St as I usually do.

Geez, that is scary! I am glad you are (mostly) all right. When I had a bike, I used to slow for potholes when possible. Also, always treat cars as unpredictable clueless things which may not see the obvious, and to the extent possible try to be predictable, yourself. A surprising number of car drivers do not know the signals for right, left, stop/slow down (didn't we all have to know that to pass the written exam?). Again, glad you are all right! And good for you for warning people about the location.
