" The bicycle is powered only by our physical input. We work our legs to push on the pedals, and cause the gears and chains to turn, thus causing forward movement of the wheels. Since the criteria for the Kremer Prize consisted of the aircraft to be human-powered, Paul MacCready and his team designed this system of gears and chains on the Gossamer Condor to get it moving. It worked terrifically well."

Which sentence needs to be edited for pronoun agreement. A bicyclist uses their legs to power their bike. or A monkey can move from tree to tree by swinging with its legs and tail?

The sentence, "A bicyclist uses their legs to power their bike." is not incorrect based on the fact that the bicyclist is a general word for any bicyclist, not identified as a male or a female. It is appropriate to use the plural, non-gender specific pronoun for a singular person in general. You can edit the sentence to read: "A bicyclist uses his legs to power his bike." Or: "A bicyclist uses her legs to power her bike." The sentence, "A monkey can move from tree to tree by swinging with its legs and tail." also uses a correct pronoun antecedent agreement.
