You absolutely should not give up something that you love - riding - because of an accident. But I would think that it would be a good idea to give yourself time to heal before you get back on your bike. Riding just 3 days after what you describe as a bad concussion sounds a little fast to me.

I'm not a doc or someone in the healthcare field, just another gal who is addicted to biking. I am also someone who recovered from a very serious biking accident and who had to wait 6 weeks to get back on my bike. My friends and family all expected me to get back on my bicycle, although I know there are some who would have preferred that I stop. They knew better than to tell me that though because they knew that I consider bicycling to be an important part of my life.

You absolutely should keep cycling if that's what you want to do. But taking a relatively short break to allow your body to recover may be a good idea.
