Bio

It hasn’t taken long for Bryce Lindores to excel in para-cycling. Bryce began cycling in 2006; just two years after a car accident left him with a vision impairment.

Six months into his cycling career, he won a bronze medal at the 2006 Cycling World Championships and the same year was awarded the 2006 Queensland Tandem Cyclist of the Year. At the 2008 Paralympic Games, Bryce won a bronze medal in the individual pursuit, something of which he is extremely proud. Together with his pilot Steven George, he took six seconds off his personal best to snavel the bronze. His first Paralympic Games, Bryce loved the team atmosphere and enjoyed meeting and cheering on athletes from sports outside cycling.

Bryce looks to fellow cyclists Lance Armstrong, Robbie McEwen and Nick Gates for inspiration as he trains for his next competition. He plans to cycle at the 2009 National Championships and the World Championships later that year before beginning his preparation for London.

When he’s not cycling, Bryce loves the outdoors and enjoys fishing, camping and listening to music.
