Great Britain's cycling team consists of ten riders, including returning Paralympic gold medalists Aileen McGlynn, her tandem partner Ellen Hunter, and Darren Kenny. Other members of the team include former swimmers Jody Cundy and Sarah Storey. The cycling team's coach is Chris Furber, and their manager is Helen Mortimer. The cyclists trained alongside the British Olympic cycling team.

Road

• Rachel Morris: Women's Time Trial (HC A/HC B/HC C)
• Darren Kenny: Men's Time Trial (CP 3)
• Simon Richardson: Men's Time Trial (LC 3)

Track

To ensure a fair event when athletes with differing disabilities compete, times achieved are sometimes modified by a percentage rate, to produce a result known as "Factor Time". It is this time that decides the result of the races, and is listed below. In the event, all of the Team GB competitors had a factor of 100 per cent, and so actual times and factor times are the same.

The tournament is classified as a B1 event, meaning that it is for blind athletes. Athletes wear eyeshades so ensure vision-impaired and totally blind athletes are level in ability. Goalkeepers may be sighted as long as they have not been registered with FIFA since 2003. Each team may also have a guide behind their opponents' goal to direct players.
