Cycling competitions at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru were held at five venues across Lima. The Circuito BMX held the BMX racing competitions, the Pista de skateboarding held the freestyle BMX events. Morro Solar staged the mountain biking competitions, and the Circuito San Miguel staged the road competitions. Finally the velodrome staged the track cycling competitions.[1]

The BMX competitions started on August 7 and finished on the 11th (the last of the games), while mountain biking started on the 28th of July. Road cycling competitions started on the 7th and 10th of August. Track cycling competitions were held between August 1st and 4th.

In 2016, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) made several changes to its sports program, which were subsequently implemented for these games. Included in this was the addition of the BMX freestyle event for the first time to the Pan American Games sports program. Also added was the addition of the Madison event in track cycling for men and women.[2][3]

22 medal events were contested, four in BMX, two in mountain biking and four in road cycling and 12 in track cycling. Each discipline was gender neutral in terms of events. A total of 250 cyclists qualified to compete at the games.[4]
