Venues
Three of the four cycling venues were located within the West Midlands region:
- Myton Fields was the start/finish location for a road race course that circulated through Warwick and Leamington Spa.
- West Park in Wolverhampton was the start/finish location for a road time trial course that stretched to Dudley.
- Cannock Chase Forest was the venue for mountain biking.
In addition, it was decided that the Lee Valley VeloPark in London, more than 100 miles away from Birmingham, would host the track cycling. This caused backlash amongst residents in the West Midlands, and even resulted in a petition that was signed by 6,000 locals that urged for a new velodrome to be built in the West Midlands instead of using one in London. Nonetheless, a new velodrome in the West Midlands was ruled out on grounds of cost.
Qualification (parasport)
A total of 12 para-track cyclists (6 per gender) nominally qualified to compete at the Games. They qualify as follows:
- Athletes in the UCI Individual Tandem B – Track Para Rankings (for performances between 1 January 2021 and 18 April 2022).
- Recipient of a CGF / UCI Bipartite Invitation.
