Unofficial Events
In 1900, there was no official distinction between Olympic events and non-Olympic events held during the Exposition Universelle (1900). Most events were open for all cyclist. Only the events restricted to amateurs are nowadays seen as Olympic events. Other events were:
- Points race (Winner: Enrico Brusoni, Italy)
- 50 kilometres
- Tandems
- Inter-rêgionale
- 100 miles (winner: Taylor, France)
- Sprint for professionals (winner: Meyers, Belgium)
- 100 kilometers (winner: Chase, England)
- Course des Nations (winner: American team)
- Handicap
- Amateurs handicap
- Amateur points race
- Individual pursuit
- Bol d'Or (Winner: Mathieu Cordang, Netherlands)
The points race, won by Enrico Brusoni, is considered by Sports-Reference as a third Olympic cycling event in 1900.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“By the power elite, we refer to those political, economic, and military circles which as an intricate set of overlapping cliques share decisions having at least national consequences. In so far as national events are decided, the power elite are those who decide them.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
