The men's road race at the 1929 UCI Road World Championships was the third edition of the event. The race took place on Friday 16 August 1929 in Zürich, Switzerland.[1] The race was won by Georges Ronsse of Belgium.
Among both professional and amateur cyclists, the race was decided in the sprint. In the professional cyclists, Georges Ronsse, who successfully defended his world title, won ahead of Luxembourger Nicolas Frantz and Italian former champion Alfredo Binda. Jef Dervaes was fourth. Swiss hope Heiri Suter suffered a puncture in the final part of the race and, despite help from his compatriots Ernst Hofer and Albert Meier, was unable to catch up with the leading group and finished 12th, more than 10 minutes behind the winner.[2]
