Road Cycling at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France, took place at Clichy-sous-Bois from 4 to 7 September. [1][2][3] 34 events were held over three disciplines: road race, road time trial and mixed team relay (handbikes only). Events were held on tandem bicycles for visually impaired cyclists (B), tricycles (T1-2), handbikes (H1-5) and standard bicycles (C1-5).
A number of the events were composite classification events for multiple classes. In the time trials only, such events were subject to factoring, whereby finishing times were adjusted by a standardised percentage to allow fair competition between classes.
The overall race programme was unchanged from 2021 in Tokyo.
