Road bike category introduced by British time trial governing body to 'get more people time trialling': “If you have a road bike, even if it cost £150 off eBay, you can enter an open event,' says CTT's chair. cycling
, or disc wheels. The handlebars can be drop-style or flat, the wheels must have at least 12 spokes front and rear and those wheels can't be deeper than 90mm.
CTT says that as of 18th April 2023, road bikes will be recognised as a distinct racing category, and results on its website will be filterable to show results from road bikes in each event. Organisers won't need to create a separate road bike category for their events themselves, as this will now be sorted at the point of entry when riders sign up for an event via CTT.
The CTT told members in an email that this change has come about mostly in response to its first time-trialling community survey. "The implementation of Road Bikes as a separate machine category with separate results and achievement recognition in all our events protects this accessibility for future years. We are back to the future."
