The cyclist's displacement is the straight-line distance from their starting point to their final position. After traveling 1 mile north and then 1 mile east, the cyclist is located at the coordinates (1 mile east, 1 mile north). Moving 1 mile south returns them to the same latitude as their starting point, resulting in a final position of 1 mile east of the starting point. Therefore, the displacement is 1 mile east.
