I'll be taking my advice from the Scottish Government rather than a commercial entity that stands to profit from the guidance they are giving.
https://sportscotland.org.uk/covid-19/latest-sport-and-physical-activity-guidance/
Gives 'adult non-contact outdoor sports' the go ahead under level 3 restrictions and doesn't specify any restriction on numbers.
There is an excel spreadsheet accessible via that link that defines which sports/physical activities are contact and which are non-contact and cycling is listed as non.
For several sports/physical activities there is a note that "Additional mitigation measures are in place - see SGB guidance." but cycling is not one of those.
The note for cycling reads "Accidental contact can arise and should be mitigated where possible - see guidance".
All of the above may of course be superceded by new advice once we move out of this lockdown and into whatever system of tiers etc.
It might be worth saying though, that I don't cycle as a sport. I do it as a form of transport and a recreational activity. Therefor I don't feel that the Sport's Governing Body would have anything applicable or of interest to tell me.
