Such an awesome and responsive shift, I felt I had to share. I think it's because of the stiffer spring in my suntour derailleur which caused the shift to be so positive. It was just like the chattering you get when dumping the clutch in a manual transmission at high engine RPM's!
So, to recap: you were running a stop sign, your bike is so poorly tuned that the bike was "upshifting on its own," and apparently you had no rear tire, since you "felt the rear rim chatter against the pavement."

If that's worth bragging about, I wonder what would make you feel sheepish?
