European Handcycling Classification System

The HCAUK follows the EHC line of classification for riders with a disability. The sport is an inclusive sport and as such is open to all. Riders competing on the GRAND PRIX scene are subject only to the basic division of three - A, B and C dependent on the level of disability. This is due to the number of riders in the UK at present.
