Yeah that drive was pretty sketchy.
I was there in September, so quite late in the season. I guess this helped with water levels, on most of the crossings I didn't even have to get my feet wet. This time I'll bring a pair of sandals though...
Then you crossed the border in Ishikashim I guess? I biked down there along the border, kids on the other side of the river shouting and laughing. Good times. Did you go any further than that? Beyond Ishikashim I mean. I've read some very cool looking trip reports from guys trekking in the Wakhan. Would love to do that one day.

That drive to Khorog tho... 24hrs on cliff edges with the same driver the whole time, guzzling some packet of powder to keep himself awake. Terrifying.
I crossed into Afghanistan (running, not cycling) and had a few problems with swollen rivers where I had to climb some distance up a mountain to cross them. Did you have any issues like that?
