It really depends on the severity of the injury. When I crashed I suffered a mild concussion, but due to the severity of my other injuries I had serious trouble retrieving names of places and people. It was almost 9 months to a year before I regained the majority of ability, but at times I still struggle with it. If you are concerned I would suggest contacting a sports psychologist for some evaluation and treatment. It can't hurt.

Also, if you haven't tried it yet, go to the track. Most of us can recount people who have been hurt, or died, riding on the street to get their speed fix. The track can be dangerous, but honestly you won't have crazy traffic causing you problems.
