A handcycle is a type of bicycle that is powered by the arms instead of the legs. It is designed for individuals with mobility impairments, allowing them to participate in cycling activities. Handcycles come in various styles, including recumbent and upright models, and can be used for recreation, fitness, or competitive racing. These cycles typically feature three wheels for stability and are equipped with hand-operated brakes and gears. Handcycles can be customized with different seating options and accessories to enhance comfort and performance. They are often used in events like the Paralympics and other adaptive sports competitions.
