The cycling competitions of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo will feature 22 events in five disciplines. The 2020 Olympics was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cycling competitions had been contested in every Summer Olympics programme since the first modern Olympiad in 1896 alongside athletics, artistic gymnastics, fencing and swimming.
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. BMX freestyle was added in the program for the first time and there will also be a return of madison's events on the track, that had been removed from the Olympic program in 2008.
