Cycling at the 1978 Commonwealth Games was the 10th appearance of Cycling at the Commonwealth Games. The events were held in Edmonton, Canada, from 3 to 12 August 1978.
The track events were held at Argyll Velodrome, specifically constructed for the Games. The concrete surface was 333 metres, 7 metres wide with a 37 degree bank.
The road race ran along the North Saskatchewan River Valley over a 117 miles distance consisting of 15 laps of 7.8 miles.
Australia topped the cycling medal table, by virtue of winning two more silver medals than hosts Canada.
Phil Anderson won the gold after winning a three-man sprint for the line. He had earlier fallen and remounted during the race. The course was said to be a tree lined twisting circuit and considerably less punishing than the 1974 course. The race started at 7 a.m., with 49 riders competing in intermittent rain.
