The cycling competitions at the 2012 Olympic Games in London took place at five venues between 28 July and 12 August. The venues were the London Velopark for track cycling and BMX,{{cite web |url=http://www.london2012.com/games/venues/velopark.php |title=VeloPark |access-date=11 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091206045443/http://www.london2012.com/games/venues/velopark.php |archive-date=6 December 2009}} and Hadleigh Farm, in Essex, for mountain biking.{{cite web |url=http://www.london2012.com/games/venues/hadleigh-farm-essex.php |title=Hadleigh Farm, Essex |access-date=11 December 2009 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121205002446/http://www.london2012.com/games/venues/hadleigh-farm-essex.php |archive-date=5 December 2012 |url-status=dead }} The road races took place over a course starting and ending in The Mall in central London{{cite web |url=http://www.london2012.com/games/venues/the-mall.php |title=The Mall |publisher=London 2012 |access-date=2011-10-25 |archive-date=4 December 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121204172245/http://www.london2012.com/spectators/ |url-status=dead }} and heading out into Surrey, while the time trials started and finished at Hampton Court Palace in Richmond upon Thames. Eighteen events were contested and around 500 athletes participated.

Cycling events have been contested in every Summer Olympics programme since the first modern Olympiad in 1896 alongside athletics, artistic gymnastics, fencing and swimming. Compared to the cycling at the 2008 Olympics, there were many changes in the Olympic track cycling programme. The men's and women's individual pursuit and points race, and the men's Madison were removed. Team sprint, team pursuit and keirin were added to the women's programme, while Omnium was a new race for both men and women.{{cite web |url=http://www.olympic.org/en/content/Media/?MediaNewsTab=0&articleNewsGroup=-1&articleId=75443 |title=IOC approves new events for London 2012 |publisher=IOC |access-date=11 December 2009}} Countries were restricted to one entry per track event, a restriction which seemed to be directed at preventing the British team from double-medalling in the same event as they had in four events in 2008,{{cite news |author=William Fotheringham |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2012/feb/14/london-2012-rule-changes-cyclists |title=London 2012 rule changes likely to restrict GB cyclists' medal haul | William Fotheringham | Sport |work=The Guardian|date=14 February 2012 |access-date=2015-06-16}}{{cite web |author=Cycling |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/olympics/cycling/9413055/London-2012-Olympics-Sir-Chris-Hoy-falls-victim-of-controversial-rule-change.html |title=London 2012 Olympics: Sir Chris Hoy falls victim of controversial rule change |work=The Telegraph|date=19 July 2012 |access-date=2015-06-16}}{{cite web |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/summer08/results?discId=15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080902033532/http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/summer08/results?discId=15 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2 September 2008 |title=2008 Summer Olympics Track Cycling Results - Beijing, China - ESPN |publisher=ESPN |access-date=2015-06-16}} thus lowering their medal chances. However, similar to the 2008 Beijing Games, the cycling events were dominated by the British team, which, with a haul including eight gold medals, was the only nation to win more than a single gold medal.

Venues

The road racing at the Olympics and Paralympic Games was originally scheduled to take place in Regent's Park and on Hampstead Heath. Instead, the Olympic road races started and finished on The Mall in central London and headed out in a south-westerly direction to include loops around Box Hill in Surrey.{{cite web |url=http://www.london2012.com/games/olympic-sports/cycling-road.php |title=London 2012 website on road cycling |publisher=London2012.com |access-date=2011-10-25 |archive-date=7 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110907052443/http://www.london2012.com/games/olympic-sports/cycling-road.php |url-status=dead }} Road racing in the Paralympics took place at Brands Hatch.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/london_2012/13468812.stm |title=BBC Sport – Brands Hatch to host London 2012 Paralympic cycling |publisher=BBC News |date=20 May 2011 |access-date=2011-10-25}} The Olympic mountain bike event took place at Hadleigh Farm after the UCI labeled the course at Weald Country Park{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/london_2012/7554020.stm |title=BBC SPORT | Olympics | London 2012 | Essex venue to host 2012 biking |publisher=BBC News |date=11 August 2008 |access-date=2011-10-25}} "too easy" in July 2008.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/london_2012/7222807.stm |title=BBC SPORT | Olympics & Olympic sport | London 2012 | Mountain bike course 'too easy' |publisher=BBC News |date=1 February 2008 |access-date=2011-10-25}} It was touted that the course could be created in Wales.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7483538.stm |title=UK | Wales | Coe dampens mountain bike hopes |publisher=BBC News |date=1 July 2008 |access-date=2011-10-25}} A location in Kent was also considered.{{cite web |author=Keith Bingham |url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/olympics/346292/lord-coe-selects-hadleigh-in-essex-as-2012-olympic-mtb-venue.html |title=Lord Coe selects Hadleigh in Essex as 2012 Olympic mtb venue | Olympics 2012 |publisher=Cycling Weekly |date=15 August 2008 |access-date=2011-10-25}}
