I read several times one of the most frequent emergency room injuries is head trauma. I thought this article helps to understand the problems.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Head first: The variability of injury, and recovery, from traumatic brain injuries<\/strong><\/span><\/a>

\nEditor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s note: This article, on the individual variability and treatment of traumatic brain injuries in sport, originally appeared in the December 2012 issue of Velo, The Danger Issue. The concussion assessment graphic was adapted from a chart created by Medicine of Cycling.<\/p>\n

The physical abilities of professional cyclists are hard to fathom. Many riders will have nearly a hundred race days in one season, not counting the thousands of training miles they will log. Crashes happen. Usually they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re minor, but too often, they can be deadly serious.<\/p>\n

It is a tremendous challenge to be able to assess riders properly when they crash in a major event. Medical personnel must jockey through mechanics, motorcycles, and photographers, scanning for who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not moving, who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bloody, and who might…<\/p>\n

\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time for another installment of the I Bike Richardson series, where we put a face on Richardson cyclists. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to introduce Sarah Townsend. She took the time to answer a few questions about biking. Enjoy:<\/p>\n

Name: Sarah Townsend (with Richard, Eleanor, and Gabriel)<\/p>\n

How long have you been riding?
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always cycled casually, but I would say we started developing our current habits within the last year. We added the cargo bike to our family last summer, which really opened up our options since we always…<\/p>\n
