San Juan, Puerto Rico, was the main host city for the 1979 Pan American Games, but the track cycling events took place about 100 kilometres south, at a velodrome in Coamo.[1] The Coamo velodrome was an outdoor concrete track that didn't have lights. The lack of artificial lighting forced all races to be held in the middle of the day, in the full heat and humidity of the Caribbean summer weather.[2] This page lists the results for men's track cycling and road cycling. There were no women's cycling events at these games.

UPI mistakenly named it "individual" pursuit, which meant every American & Canadian newspaper published that mistake. However, it is the TEAM results.
