The conventions used on this table are: * Road for Road bicycle racing, road events at the Summer Olympics and the UCI Road World Championships * Track for Track cycling, track events at the Summer Olympics and the UCI Track Cycling World Championships * MTB for Mountain bike racing, mountain bike events at the Summer Olympics * BMX for BMX racing, BMX events at the Summer Olympics and the UCI BMX World Championships * MTB&T for mountain bike events at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships and the UCI Trials World Championships * XCM for events held at the UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships * Urban for events held at the UCI Urban Cycling World Championships * Cross for events held at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships * Indoor for events held at the UCI Indoor Cycling World Championships Events held at the UCI Motor-paced World Championships were counted as part of road events.

The following World Championships were not considered for this list: * UCI B World Championships * UCI Juniors World Championships ** UCI Road World Championships – Junior men's road race, UCI Junior Road World Championships ** UCI Junior Track World Championships * UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships * UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships The table is pre-sorted by total number of first-place results, second-place results and third-place results, respectively. When equal ranks are given, nations are listed in alphabetical order. Defunct National Olympic Committees (NOCs) or historical teams are shown in ''italics''. Also, it is important to note that official documents from UCI credit a medal at the 1984 UCI Track Cycling World Championships to Zhou Suying as a medal for North Korea, while in reality Syuing represented China. Cyclists from North Korea have never earned medals at the UCI World Championships, and this is reflected on this list.UCI - Results
