History

At the beginning of the 1980s, athletes with a visual impairment began participating in Cycling competitions. A few years later, athletes with cerebral palsy and amputees competed during the 1984 International Games for the Disabled. The inclusion of Road Cycling in the competition programme of the Seoul 1988 Paralympic Games, constituted a milestone in the history of Cycling. Until the Barcelona 1992 Paralympic Games, athletes from each disability class competed in separate Cycling championships. Track Cycling events were first included in the Atlanta 1996 Paralympic Games programme.
