Cycling at the 1908 Summer Olympics

At the 1908 Summer Olympics, seven track cycling events were contested, all for men only. The weather was poor, flooding the track on occasion.[1] The track was 660 yards long (being built around the perimeter of the White City Stadium's athletics track); some events (the 660 yards and the team pursuit) used full laps of the track; the others used metric distances.
