Jennifer Cheng

Many of us ride for pleasure. Some take riding more seriously and train to compete. All of us can enjoy Jennifer Cheng’s story. She is a hard of hearing Cat 2 competitor who began losing her hearing at age 17. For those who ride only for pleasure and think bike racing is an individual sport, this is an eye-opening story. For those who compete, read her story to learn more about the importance of communication among teammates and what cyclists with hearing loss need to pay attention to during races if they want to win.
