Since the 1896 contests which featured five track events and an 87 km road race from Athens to Marathon and back, Olympic cycling had gradually evolved to include women's competitions, mountain bike and BMX to arrive at the current 22 events. The cycling program for this edition was expanded with 4 more events than those held in 2016.
It was held from 2000 to 2008, then dropped for 2012 and 2016 due to there being no women's equivalent. The event was returning in 2020 with a new women's counterpart.
