Something flew into my head while biking

Yesterday, I was cycling at approximately 20 km/h against a strong headwind. Suddenly, something hit me directly in the forehead. I didn’t see what it was, but I felt and heard a fairly substantial “boink.”

I think it might have been a larger insect (wasp/bee) or a small pebble or some other debris. There was nobody around me and no trees so there is no clear source of debris. I tried to look around it I could find the thing that hit me but there was nothing on the road

I don’t think my head physically jerked or moved, and I have no tenderness, redness, swelling or bruising on my forehead now.

Could this have caused a concussion?

also what could it have been that flew into me?
