Round-the-world cyclist Josh Quigley seriously injured while riding across US
Josh Quigley , the Scottish cyclist who is making his seventh attempt to cycle around the world, has sustained multiple injuries following a collision involving a car as he rode across the United States.
The 27-year-old from Livingston had been riding through Texas, south west of Dallas, as he headed towards Florida to complete the American leg of his trip when the crash happened.
No further details of the incident are available as yet, but Quigley detailed his injuries – including fractures to his skull, ribs, pelvis and ankle as well as a punctured lung – in a post on social media.

Last week, the 27-year-old admitted that he would miss his goal of being home for Christmas following a trip that has been beset by bad luck, including battling headwinds as he rode across the US.
In November, he had to return home from Australia to obtain a new passport, with the old one having been damaged by sweat.
He also had his bike stolen when he was in London, and received a £75 fine for cycling in Bedford town centre.
Quigley, who campaigns on mental health issues, took up cycling after attempting suicide in 2015.

Name calling and personal attacks; is that where this site is headed? Mods?
It sounds like what we need to solve this is an algorithm. Oh... wait...
Isn't the answer to ban cycling in the 2 metres immediately outside shop doors and frontages, leaving cycling allowed in the other 98% of the space...
He'll have to plant a lot more trees to compensate for taking Raticliffe's dirty dollars https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/tom-pidcock...
Saved transfers paid off in the end..
And yet you advocate protective equipment, mandatory licensing, registration and insurance. What else would you do to present something as unsafe...
There is a cut up of a C50 on YT, very poor looking job, voids everywhere, look nice though I guess.
Unfortunately, only a small fraction of that melting needs to happen in order to cause devastating effects around the world.
It would be ruled via special exemption rather than via licensing.
Whats the matter, too many reasonable points justified by actual statistics?...
