Nomination Process

Nomination & Selection Procedures - Class of 2012

The foundation of the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame is built upon the recognition of the competitors and contributors to the sport of cycling. Since 1987, there has been an annual induction of Americans who have achieved tremendous success in racing or who have enhanced the sport of cycling through their lifelong efforts.

Inductees are selected from one of two basic categories:
  • Competitors: Success at the national & international levels are usually required to achieve selection.
  • Contributors: Advanced the sport of cycling through contributions in the areas of equipment, coaching, administration, or promotion of the sport.
For 2012, the four Official Induction Categories are:
  1. Modern Road & Track Competitor (1971 to 2007*)
  2. Veteran Road & Track competitor (1970 and prior)
  3. Off-Road Competitor (Mountain Bike, BMX, Cyclocross)
  4. Contributor to the Sport of Cycling

* Competitor nominees must be retired from elite/open competition for 5 years prior to the date of the Induction Ceremony to be eligible for induction.

Voting & Selection

The USBHOF Nomination & Selection Committee assembles the ballot from the qualified applications submitted. No more than 10 nominees may appear on a ballot in any category in a given year. Ballots are distributed to a group of pre-qualified voters including past inductees, leaders in the cycling industry, media representatives and key players from the sport’s governing bodies across all disciplines of the sport. The votes are tallied and the new class of inductees are notified and invited to the annual Induction held every fall.

 

Annual Induction Ceremony

The class of 2012 Induction Ceremony and Dinner will be held on November 3rd, 2012 in Davis, CA, home of the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame.  Induction Weekend will include an awards ceremony, reception, dinner, cycling history symposium, a high-profile keynote speaker, and the opportunity to meet and greet all of the honorees.

Individual tickets can be purchased in advance at the USBHOF online store.  Early-bird ticket sales are available and advance purchase is recommended as event seating is anticipated to sell-out.

Sponsorships and corporate table purchases are available for the 2012 event.
