The trouble with the sports route is it has to be shoe horned in with so many other sports, within the 1hr per week, 36 weeks per year. The wording for swimming is it must be taught within, not throughout, ks1 & 2. So a 6 week block in yr 3 = box ticked for most schools.
Some (many? most?) staff aren't confident/knowledgeable enough to teach cycling as sport, so either require support, or external coaching.
Not sure where this going, just throwing it out there for thought.
