Concussion
All disciplines of cycling and at all levels from recreational to high performance have a risk of falls from bikes. This can occur during competition, training and recreational riding.
The most important consideration is the wellbeing and safety of the rider. There is also collective responsibility with all parties having a role to play in identifying riders of concern and ensuring proper management.
