And then I think after wards "how the Foc did I manage to swerve around that"

Some might disagree, but I'd not have swerved, simply emergency braked and controlled the bike to stay upright. I don't mean deliberately hit them, simply make a controlled stop with a blast on the horn.

Sadly I only have my word for it and my memory is a little all over the place from my head smacking off the road but from what I recall they did just run out of nowhere, it was so dark on the path and my light was green I didn't see them until they were less than 10 feet in front of me, and at 30mph I just did not have time to brake

Any crash you can walk away from is a 'good crash' grant
It's good that you focus on the bike, by the time you get it fixed up you'll be ready to get back in the saddle.
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
