Simon Richardson, an MBE born on 10 November 1966 in Porthcawl, Wales, is a Welsh Paralympic racing cyclist. He is the son of John and Diana Richardson, is married to Amanda and has two sons, Ashley and Benjamin. In 2001 he was involved in a car accident that left him with serious leg and back injuries and no feeling down his left hand side. His article also records gold medal results at a major Games, but the lead gives no total, so his count of Paralympic golds is left open until a source that states it is found.
