This is a poor general rule. Sports can have hugely different profiles of health effects: running is almost certainly better for you than boxing or football. In any case, brain damage is bad and you should avoid it if at all possible.
- collyw 11y agoI don't think it is so poor if you consider the benefits of cycling outweigh the risks. Most sports aren't done in traffic, so I imagine that cycling is relatively high risk. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2920084/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2920084/

- duaneb 11y agoCycling typically doesn't lead to brain damage. I suspect it is lower risk than sports with high rates of CTE. Also, the Netherlands is unusual in being so cycling-friendly. I suspect risk is much higher almost everywhere else on the planet.
