Galway native Ronan Grimes’ route into Para cycling shows how a bike can open unexpected doors. After first getting involved in cycling through the Irish Government’s Cycle to Work scheme, Grimes went on to become one of the world’s leading Para cyclists, representing Ireland on the sport’s biggest international stages.

With the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships set for Huntsville, Alabama this September, the road ahead is already in focus.

Two young wheelchair users were part of the player walk on ahead of Arthur Rinderknech v Matteo Berrettini on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

Rory Motherway’s story, featured by RTΓ‰, highlights the reality of surviving a road crash and how quickly lives can change.

Following a life changing crash, he is now part of Ireland’s wheelchair basketball community, and last summer represented Team Ireland at the European Para Youth Games 2025 in Istanbul.

From injury to representing Team Ireland, his journey shows how sport can create new pathways, purpose and connection.
