Did I almost pass out?

I decided to bike today with tires that needed to be pumped but I biked anyways even though it was so much harder to pedal, and it was about 95 degrees out and I didn't drink that much water before and so about eight minutes in, my knees started shaking and I was breathing heavily and thankfully got to my house and as I was pressing the password to the garage, my head started spinning and I was seeing blurs and felt like I was floating and it was hard to put my bike back so I just left it on the floor and then I got to my room and laid down for a few minutes and then I was okay. Did I almost pass out?

    Yes, it sounds like you almost passed out. Usually you will feel light-headed and dizzy, then you may see stars or whiteness or darkness as your vision fades, and you will usually hear sounds diminish and start fading away. If it happens again, take deep breaths and bend over and put your head between your knees, if you can. Fainting is often the result of dehydration or breathlessness (shallow breaths).
