#DYK ? Paracycling is divided into three types of events : time trial, individual pursuit and tandem or team sprint. Nathan competes in T1 (tricyclist) time trial. Paralympics now accommodate several disabilities, with types of bikes used: standard bicycles, handcycles, tricycles and tandems. There’s a bike for each different type of disability, adapted to suit the athlete’s needs. The town of Clichy-sous-Bois in Seine-Saint-Denis will host the start and finish of the Para-cycling event from 4 to 7 September 2024. The Para-cycling event will run a loop starting and finishing in Clichy-sous-Bois.
