The UCI and U.S. Para-Cycling classification system groups athletes together into different divisions and sport classes. So you want to make sure you know what to watch for in any given race. This isn't just a regular cycling race on two-wheeled bikes. You'll see a variety of Para-Cyclists in this event:
• Handcycle athletes compete using an arm-powered or arm trunk power hand bike where a recumbent position is mandatory. In another type of handcycling, athletes compete from a kneeling position.
• Tricycle athletes are unable to ride a bicycle due to lack of balance and/or restriction in pedaling due to spasticity/dystonia.
• Cycling race athletes compete with a standard bicycle.
• Tandem Cycling events have an able-bodied pilot in the front, and a stoker in the back who has some degree of visual impairment. The stoker provides the power and speed while the pilot's main job is to steer.
