Cycling

For some people with a disability cycling is a fast and competitive sport whilst for others it is recreational activity. Athletes either compete on a track or on the road. Track racing has various types of events including sprints and individual time trials whilst road races are conducted on regular roads.

Athletes with cerebral palsy compete using standard racing bikes and, in some classes, tricycles. Amputees and cyclists with permanent locomotor deficiencies compete in individual road race events using cycles specifically constructed for their needs including handcycles.
