yes, should ad, pup is fine. I was training him to run with me- he's already trained as a co-runner, was evolving to bike running with him- had his leash under my hand so i could let go fast, but he dashed after something and pretty much pulled the bike out from under me at about 16-18 mph.

Ouch! I'm sorry you had such a crash.
I ride with my dog. I use a device called a Walkydog. It holds him away from the bike, and there's a spring inside so he can't pull me. We've been using it for 4 years now, with no crashes.

looks like surgery is monday.
i had my hopes up because a friend invited me to do a club ride with him next sat- he has a tandem with an upright in the back, where captain rides, and a hands free recumbent front ride/stoker. however, i'm just going to still have a gauze cover at that point and no hard cast to protect, so I'm going to pass.
