I almost totalled my nephews bike a week before his 1st Half

So I strap on my 15 year old Graber bike rack to the back of my SUV, load our bikes and head out to Camp Blanding. We ride a 44 mile loop around the lake, load the bikes back on the rack and then go in for a swim. Finished the swim and loaded up for the drive home. There we are driving along doing about 62 mph on a two lane road when I see my nephews bike "pop" up off the bike rack. I think I said, "Holy , your bike!" I slow down very quickly, pull off the road and my nephew jumps out and runs to the back of the car. Believe it or not, but the bike is hanging on to the rack by one of the brake cables! My nephew unhooks the bike so we can check it out and then starts jumping up and down when he realizes he is standing in an ant bed. I take the bike while he is slapping all the ants off his feet and start spinning the wheels. To our great surprise, both wheels are true and there is absolutely no damage to the bike. We can tell the back tire bounced a couple of time by some minor scrapes on the side wall, but that is it. I pull the vehicle up a bit so we can put the bike back on the rack while avoiding the ants. We get the bike back on, STRAP it down and go to get back in the vehicle. My nephew then notices that his wallet is laying there in the high grass where it obviously flew out when he jumped out of the vehicle. I would have felt pretty bad had things not turned out so well since he will be doing his 1st half iron distance race with me next weekend.
