At the [[1908 Summer Olympics]], seven [[track cycling]] events were contested, all for men only. The weather was poor, flooding the track on occasion<ref name=flooding>Official Report, p. 113.</ref>. The track was 660 yards long (being built around the perimeter of the [[White City Stadium]]'s athletics track); some events (the 660 yards and the team pursuit) used full laps of the track; the others used metric distances.
