Tim de Vries, Transdev bus driver and professional handbiker, wins three medals at the European Para-Cycling Championships

Racing in the colours of the Netherlands, Tim de Vries delivered an outstanding championship: bronze in the time trial, bronze in the road race and silver in the team relay. "It was amazing! The atmosphere was great and the setting was beautiful," he said after a competition that brought together nearly 300 of the continent's best para-cyclists from some twenty nations.

A bus driver at Connexxion in Zaandam for more than twenty years, Tim de Vries has built a remarkable sporting career alongside his job: a multiple handbike world champion, he has also represented the Netherlands at the Paralympic Games, from Rio 2016 to Paris 2024. A dual commitment admired by his colleagues, reflecting values Transdev holds dear: determination, perseverance and team spirit.

There is little time to rest: Tim is already preparing for the Para-cycling World Championships, scheduled for September in Huntsville, United States. The whole Transdev family congratulates him on this medal haul and will be cheering him on for this next challenge. To follow his sporting journey, find him on Instagram at @handbikertim.
