Kanno established the record on October 3, 2024 at the Longchamp
cycling ring, a 3.541 km (2.2 miles) path in the Bois de Boulogne
park in Paris, by completing eight laps in one hour. The next day,
Dassault Systèmes hosted the “Mobility Night Ride,” an 11 km (6.8
miles) cycling and roller-skating ride through Paris that gathered
3,000 people to celebrate alongside Kanno.
Kanno’s record and the Mobility Night Ride are part of Dassault
Systèmes’ “The Only Progress is Human” initiative, which aims to
increase awareness of today’s societal and environmental challenges
and inspire people to use the virtual world to drive sustainable
innovations for a better future. Dassault Systèmes organized the
record and ride to highlight the need for mobility to be equally
accessible for all, and the role of virtual twin experiences as
powerful accelerators for creating more inclusive technologies and
cities.
“Everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, possesses the
capability to achieve their goals. Kazuhiko Kanno’s record-setting
achievement represents more than just speed and endurance – it
displays his incredible strength and skills. Through our
initiatives, we want to show the capabilities of the human spirit
as well as shed light on the role of virtual twin experiences in
facilitating new mobility solutions for a more inclusive and
accessible world,” said Victoire de Margerie, Vice President,
Corporate Equity, Marketing & Communications, Dassault
Systèmes.
More than 50% of the world’s population resides in urban areas,
where mobility plays a role in accessing resources, employment and
services. However, traditional infrastructures and technologies may
not adequately accommodate diverse needs.
By incorporating virtual twins in urban planning, architecture
and transportation systems, as well as in the design of products
for travelling, sports and healthcare, innovators can simulate and
analyze the impacts of various elements on a person’s mobility, and
craft more accessible, sustainable and accommodating
technologies.
Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform and applications are
used by innovators worldwide to create seamless and sustainable
inclusive mobility solutions such as prostheses, wheelchairs for
poor road conditions, bikes for outdoor enthusiasts, optimized
transportation planning and assistive systems for the blind.

About Kazuhiko Kanno
Kanno's athletic career, initially in baseball, took an
unexpected turn when, at the age of 22, he sustained a cervical
vertebrae injury while surfing and became quadriplegic.
Transitioning to wheelchair rugby in 2006, he swiftly rose through
the ranks, earning a place on Japan's medal-winning national team
within a year of starting to play. In 2020, Kanno retired from
wheelchair rugby to pursue paracycling. Kanno actively collaborates
with the Japan National Rehabilitation Center for Persons with
Disabilities, enhancing accessibility and advancing wheelchair
technology. Since 2017, he has been working for Dassault Systèmes
as part of a program to facilitate elite athlete career
transitions.
