Road Cycling at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France, took place at Clichy-sous-Bois from 4 to 7 September. [1] [2] [3] 34 events were held over three disciplines: road race, road time trial and mixed team relay (handbikes only). Events were held on tandem bicycles for visually impaired cyclists (B), tricycles (T1-2), handbikes (H1-5) and standard bicycles (C1-5).
A number of the events were composite classification events for multiple classes. In the time trials only, such events were subject to factoring, whereby finishing times were adjusted by a standardised percentage to allow fair competition between classes.
The overall race programme was unchanged from 2021 in Tokyo.
The qualification period for road cycling started from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2024. In order to maintain their slots, NPCs must have at least one cyclist for each allocated slot to participate in at least one of the listed cycling competitions below. [4]
