# Para-Cycling

> View the Canadian National Team athletes in the Para-Cycling discipline.

Introduced as a Paralympic sport in Seoul in 1988 for athletes with visual impairment, para-cycling now includes those with cerebral palsy, amputations and other physical impairments. Whether on the road or on the track, Cycling Canada closely collaborates with the Canadian Paralympic Committee to maximize the potential of all our para-cyclists competing here and abroad in four categories: bicycle, tricycle, handcycle and tandem.
