Just a reminder that potentially serious head injuries can take time to develop--even a few days:

"The signs and symptoms of a concussion include severe headache, dizziness, vomiting, increased size of one pupil or sudden weakness in an arm or leg. The person may seem restless, aggitated or irritable. Often, the person may have memory loss or seem forgetful. These symptoms may last for several hours to weeks, depending on the seriousness of the injury."
(thanks to U of Missouri web site)

And get medical advice immediately.

Glad you're ok

Bruno, maybe for you the symtoms will be opposite- if you suddenly become calm, pleasant, and your memory improves...get your head examined!!

Why, hope you are ok. I had a bike accident last week that sent me to the ER. I was wearing my helment and that is most likely what kept me from going to the local major trauma center. The helment was destroyed a big chunk of it ended up falling off right over where I hit my head. Some dog ran out at me and took out the front wheel, over I went in a barrel roll. Still have no idea how I got uncliped, but landed a few feet from my bike. So always wear your helment.

To the other ladies thank you I will go back and see the doc for sure I have been dealing on and off with sever dizziness for a few days now. Even though the CT claimed I was fine.

I just want to yell at helment less people. I used to ride without one when I was younger, glad I mended my ways.

thats my line!

i have a major bruise on my face the a few months ago, not from cycling but from practicing for bear protection for work (you have to shoot a 3 oz slug through a 12 ga shot gun, you wanna talk about kick!) anyhow the gun wasn't right for me so i got swacked i dont know how many times, and me never giving up i was quite sore and a HUGE bruise on my cheek bone that stuck around for weeks. i got some looks in town, it was funny, but no one said a word, expet for those that have done qualification just said, doing bear protection are you?

sersiously glad your ok. quick healing to you.

sidenote: why do you see stars if you stand up to fast and you don't hit your head against anything?

Just want to add my voice to Quillfred's
Concussion can take a couple of days to develop - one of my sons has been concussed twice...
Just be careful and aware whenever any of you bang your noggins...

Glad your head is (relatively) ok, Bruno
Over here its a legal requirement to wear helmets on bicycles and on motor bikes - everywhere
And yes, the traffic-cops will ticket you.
