Aileen McGlynn
Aileen McGlynn OBE is a Scottish paralympic tandem champion cyclist, a brilliant athlete who has won medals and broken records into her late 40s. She has helped drive para-cycling forward in the UK and set an example for other partially sighted cyclists since the early 2000s, when she was one of only three cyclists on the GB para-cycling team. She was piloted until 2009 by Ellen Hunter and since then most often by Helen Scott, with whom she took silver at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics in the women’s time trial B, at age 48 and in a personal best.
“Aileen has been part of para-cycling since the early 2000s when she was one of only three cyclists on the GB para-cycling team, so she has helped to drive para-cycling forward in the UK and set an example for other visually impaired cyclists.”
