I am assuming it is a sign of whiplash that my neck muscles experienced from the sudden stop. Im glad at least my body hit first and then my head, rather than vice versa.
Anyhow, I don't see myself getting on the bike any time soon. When I rode the bike home that day, I kept feeling the bike veering to the left, as if it was going to fall over. ...anyhow im done for biking for at least some time.
Interestingly enough, the city started on correcting the trail today.
Yeah, you probably have a concussion. That pain is probably where your brain smashed into your skull inside your head. My girlfriend had a concussion a few months ago and whenever she would drive she would start to get dizzy. I did a lot of driving her around for a week or two. She saw a doctor and gave her some medication that greatly improved that aspect of it. If you still have any dizziness, confusion or pain you might want to see someone. For her, the first few days were fine, but then it got worse.
