For Thuso Rasetapa, handcycling didn’t start as a career—it started as an opportunity.
He first connected with Bidii Yetu during their cross-country cycling initiative, where athletes with and without disabilities came together to challenge what inclusive sport can look like. What began as a single experience quickly became something bigger: a gateway into competition, independence, and community.

With the support and resources from Bidii Yetu, Thuso didn’t just continue—he progressed. He trained, competed, and began building momentum in the sport. Handcycling became more than just a way to ride; it became a platform to grow and excel.

Now, Thuso is winning races and making a name for himself, proving that talent thrives when access and opportunity are there to support it.
And this is only the beginning. Thuso will be joining Bidii Yetu again in 2026, continuing both his personal journey and the broader mission of expanding access to sport.
