• B: Blind and visually impaired cyclists use a Tandem bicycle with a sighted pilot on the front
• H 1–4: Cyclists with an impairment that affects their legs use a handcycle
• T 1–2: Cyclists with an impairment that affects their balance use a tricycle
• C 1-5: Cyclists with an impairment that affects their legs, arms and/or trunk but are capable of using a standard bicycle
