The International Cycling Union (UCI)'s president David Lappartient said the federation "has a duty to guarantee, above all, equal opportunities for all competitors in cycling competitions".
The new rules, which come into force on July 17, follow similar rulings by other Olympic sports such as athletics.
"The UCI would like to reaffirm that cycling - as a competitive sport, leisure activity or means of transport - is open to everyone," Lappartient said in a statement.
But the current state of scientific knowledge does not guarantee such equality of opportunity between transgender female athletes and cisgender female participants, he added.
"As a precautionary measure, (it is not possible to) authorise the former to race in the female categories," Lappartient added.
The UCI said it was open to changing these rulings in the future as scientific knowledge evolves.
To this end the UCI will begin discussions with other members of the international sporting movement on the co-financing of a research programme aimed at studying changes in the physical performance of highly-trained athletes undergoing transitional hormone treatment.
Last year top British women's cyclists threatened to boycott events after 22-year-old Emily Bridges, who was dropped by the British academy programme as a male rider, attempted to join the women's omium team.

He/Him Leftist Who Calls Pedophiles a ‘Stigmatized Group’
Trashes Sound of Freedom
JUL 26, 2023 12:00 PM BY BOSCH FAWSTIN
Noah Berlatsky, who proudly wrote about how his bisexual wife came out as non-binary and his daughter as trans, was hired to trash the movie, Sound of Freedom, for Bloomberg. A movie which takes on the horror of child kidnapping and child rape is a movie that Berlatsky wants to stop people from watching.
This creature tweeted that “pedophiles are essentially a stigmatized group”, and that “people hate them.” People. Not him.
Journalist Andy Ngo has revealed that Berlatsky is a former spokesman for a “M.A.P.” (Minor Attracted Persons) advocacy group, Prostasia. This is a sick, twisted rat who naturally writes for the usual leftist rags, including The Washington Post, NBC Think, Independent, and The Atlantic, and spends an inordinate amount of time projecting onto the right all of the evils of the left.
To quote him is to damn him, and to draw him is to damn him. I can’t recall the last time I wrote about and drew such a sleazy character. He has claimed that most child trafficking victims are not coerced. And keep in mind that those who hire this lowlife to write for them have No problem with his understanding of and sympathy for pedophiles, which damns them as well.
Berlatsky is the poster boy for leftists who hate the very idea of a movie taking on the kidnapping and rape of children, a movie which their attempt to bury has helped make it the great success that it is.
What is a business media doing trashing a movie that's about rescuing kids from torturers? Or, any media for that matter. Bloomberg is chronically ill and deserves to be boycotted for this.
