handcycling
Handcycling is a form of cycling that uses a specially designed bicycle powered by the arms instead of the legs. This adaptive sport is popular among individuals with mobility impairments, allowing them to enjoy cycling and participate in races. Handcycles come in various designs, including recumbent and upright styles, to accommodate different preferences and needs.
Handcycling can be done on roads, trails, or in competitive events. It promotes physical fitness, improves upper body strength, and enhances cardiovascular health. Many organizations, such as USA Cycling, support handcycling events and provide resources for athletes interested in this inclusive sport.
