When Tour de Nez race director Tim Healion met U.S. Handcycling Executive Director, Ian Lawless in 2006, they both shared the same vision: Put people with and without disabilities together, racing bikes. The Tour de Nez turned out to be a great venue for such a vision, and the 'Nez handcycle race is finally coming in to full focus in its fourth year in Reno. "Tim is a guy who was excited about handcycling from day #1, and his enthusiasm and dedication to supporting integrated cycling has made the Tour de Nez a staple event in the U.S. Handcycling Series." said Lawless. “It’s an important aspect of bike racing,” said Healion. “Many times it is either/or — it’s a disabled sports event or an able-bodied sports event. I think it is important to integrate the two.”

After developing a solid reputation among the handcycling community, this year's handcycle race will include 27 athletes, more than double the size from 2009. Much of this is due to new involvement of the City of Reno's Therapeutic Recreation program, who provide local grassroots programs, as well as logistical support for the handcycle race. April Wolfe, Therapeutic Recreation Specialist for the City, will take a group of national level handcycle racers on an outreach mission to Renown Rehabilitation Hospital on Thursday. “Handcycling is a great option for people to get active again and become a part of a larger community of athletes who enjoy the sport,” said Wolfe.Read More...
