T2 (classification)

This class uses tricycles (hence the "T" in T2) and competes at the Paralympic Games in road events only and is governed by the Union Cycliste Internationale.

"[1] In 1997, this classification was defined by Alison Gray in Against the odds : New Zealand Paralympians as: "partial mobility in arms and trunk".

[2] The Telegraph defined this classification in 2011 as "T 1-2: Athletes on tricycles, who have severe locomotive dysfunctions and limited ability to pedal" [3] The UCI recommends this be coded as MT2 or WT2.

[5][6] Cyclists opting to compete in the T2 class often do so as a result of balance issues, which make riding a standard bicycle or handcycle difficult.

[10] Competitors in this classification include David Stone from Great Britain, and Australia's Carol Cooke.
