Three of the four cycling venues were located within the West Midlands region:
In addition, it was decided that the Lee Valley VeloPark in London, more than 100 miles away from Birmingham, would host the track cycling. [10] [11] 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. [12] Nonetheless, a new velodrome in the West Midlands was ruled out on grounds of cost. [13]
A total of 12 para-track cyclists (6 per gender) nominally qualified to compete at the Games. [14] They qualify as follows:
