American football involves constant collisions. That type of research suggests that even without a “concussion” the same type of damage can occur from repeated, more mild collisions.

Cycling seems like a different order entirely, it’s extremely unusual for a cyclist’s head to hit anything and only happens during an accident or mishap.

Soccer is a good example. You are rarely concussed from heading a soccer ball, but there is some evidence that players may suffer brain damage from from repeatedly heading the ball.

45 headers in two weeks were enough. Holy Jesus! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I probably won't heal but maybe I'll protect from damage.
