List of racing cyclists and pacemakers with a cycling-related death
Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates
The first documented deaths of competitive cyclists during competition or training date to the 1890s and early 1900s when the recently-invented safety bicycle made cycling more popular, both as a sport and as a mode of transport.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The athletes listed here were either professional cyclists, professional pacemakers or well-known competitive amateurs who had a cycling-related death, mostly during a race or during training. Pacemakers are motorcyclists utilized in motor-paced racing, riding motorcycles in front of their cycling teammates to provide additional speed to those cyclists via the resulting slipstream.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
Safety has been a concern since cycling's early days. By 1929, at least 47 people had died while racing at velodromes – 33 cyclists and 14 pacemakers.<ref name="Psychology Press127">Template:Cite book</ref><ref group="Note">The total includes the professional pacemakers (14) and riders (33) but does not include injuries/deaths of bystanders. On page 101 Mangan recounts some details of the infamous 1909 Friedenau (Berlin) track accident with nine spectators being killed and 52 others injured.<ref name="Psychology Press101">Template:Cite book</ref> Other sources refer to the July 18, 1909 disaster happening at the "Botanical Garden" track or Botanischer Garten track.<ref name="Black Sunday"/></ref> Motor-paced cycling still exists in the modern era as keirin racing and derny racing. A number of professionals and competitive amateurs have been killed in crashes with motorized vehicles while training on public roads plus there is a growing number of cyclists who have died of heart attacks while cycling in a race or while training.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Some of these deaths affect cycle racing afterwards – the death of Andrey Kivilev in a crash during the 2003 Paris–Nice race caused the Union Cycliste Internationale to institute a mandatory helmet rule.
The dangers of the various sporting forms of cycling continue to be an issue,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> including training on public roadways.<ref name = "Froome">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A survey of 2008 Olympics teams, however, indicated that cycling was not even in the top six most injury-prone sports during competition that year.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Racing cyclists who have died during a race or during training are remembered by cycling aficionados and the cycling press. Their personal effects are exhibited in museums,<ref name="Hardest Test">Template:Cite magazine</ref> their cemetery markers and tombstones are visited by fans, and as one commentator wrote: "Plaques, statues and shrines to cycling's fallen heroes are scattered all over Europe's mountain roads, turning any ride into a pilgrimage."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Cyclists who died during trainingEdit
{{#invoke:Hatnote|hatnote}}{{#ifeq:||}} The following athletes died while individually training for competitions or during scheduled breaks while participating in a professional race. The only incident of multiple deaths from a team involved Néstor Mora, Augusto Triana, and Hernán Patiño from Team Postobón in 1995. The death rates for cyclists, in general, differ from country to country depending on how popular cycling is.
