Classification
[edit]![two women riding a tandem bicycle. The one in front, who is sighted, is acting as the pilot, while the second rider powers the bike.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Stephanie_Morton_and_Felicity_Johnson_riding.jpg/220px-Stephanie_Morton_and_Felicity_Johnson_riding.jpg)
Cyclists are given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allows cyclists to compete against others with a similar level of function. The class number indicates the severity of impairment with "1" being most impaired.
Cycling classes are:[2]
- B: Blind and visually impaired cyclists use a Tandem bicycle with a sighted pilot on the front - both athletes are awarded medals
- 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
