Cycling is an olympic game that men and women with mobility difficulties and partially-sighted or blind can participate. For this reason, two wheels or three wheels, hand-operated or tandem bicycles are used according to the category of disability.

There are cycling events in both cycle paths (speed races) and in public road (endurance race and individual time-keeping races).

Cycling started in Greece at the end of the 19th century. In the first contemporary Olympic games which were held in 1896, Greece won the gold medal in public-road cycling race with our athlete Aristidis Konstantinidis.
