Another bike was coming the other way so she tried to steer around the concrete skytrain pedestal... I hung way back because i knew this was a recipe for disaster, and sure enough: The dog went one way, she went the other way and whammo! She faceplanted into the concrete pedestal. Shaken up but she'll be OK--probably a sore neck/shoulder.
43F in BC, Canada, meanwhile we had mid-teens this morning with sleet, ice, and snow in the Memphis area. Crazy.
