Cox became the first British athlete since 1988 to win a medal in two sports at the same Games, in Rio last summer.
She is prioritising athletics over cycling this year, seeking to add to her medal haul at the World Para Athletics Championships in London next month.
Cox had a stroke aged 23 and was later diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
As well as the gold medals she took athletics silver in the 4x100m relay and bronze in the 100m, and was picked to be Britain's flag-bearer at the Rio closing ceremony.
