Synopsis

On this page, there are three images of riders on tricycles, one of a tandem with two riders and a top view of a tricycle. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Visually impaired cyclist with sighted teammate (top left) - This is an image of a visually impaired cyclist and his sighted teammate on a carbon fibre track-racing tandem. They are seen from the side and facing to the right. The VI rider's head, wearing a streamlined, tapered helmet, is in the top centre of the image. Just down from this are his arm and his hand holding the handlebars. Left from his head, his body curves left and then right to his knee. His leg continues down the page to his foot on a pedal. To the right of the VI rider is his sighted teammate, who steers the bike; he is dressed identically and is in a similar riding position. The bike's front wheel is on the right of the image and the rear is on the left. Parts of the bike's frame, chainwheels and chain can be found down from and between the riders.Rider on a recumbent hand tricycle (bottom left) - This image shows a competitor on a recumbent tricycle, seen from the side and facing to the right.

On the right of the image is the trike's front wheel, partly obscured by one of the rider's outstretched legs.Rider on a hand tricycle (top right) - This image shows a hand tricycle and rider, seen from the side and facing to the right.
