Concussion and brain injury in cycling

Hi everyone

 

I'm an ex cyclist and current phd student researching into concussion within competitive cycling.

 

I wanted to open up a forum to get an idea of peoples thoughts on this and any comments on the area or past experiences. 

 

And whoever is happy to I'd really appreciate it if you could spare ten mins to complete this survey I've created on the issue- all ages,abilites and genders needed! 

The link to the survey is:

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Listen, don't mention the helmets.
I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it all right.

Jack, why ex cyclist?

You have the rest of your life to get back on the bicycle, why make up your mind so soon?

Please take care, mentioning anything to do with "helmet" here is like shouting FIRE in a crowded theatre.

I should have said ex competitive cyclist...the time and money constraints of it and loss of motivation are the reasons for that. I still enjoy getting out on the bike! 

 

Thank you for the heads up, I'm aware the helmet debate is very sensitive and it's not something I want to delve into!
