U. S. Bicycling Hall of Fame

What is The Hall of Fame?

In the span of a decade, the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame has established itself as the single, most complete source of bicycling information and historical artifacts in the country.

Based in Somerville, New Jersey, volunteers supporting the Hall of Fame have worked tirelessly to spotlight the long tradition of competition and recreational cycling. The Hall has quickly become a significant resource -- part museum, part advocate for all aspects of cycling.

Its mission?

  • To promote and preserve the history of cycling;
  • To recognize the safety and fitness aspects of cycling, and;
  • To encourage participation in all cycling activities.

Since 1987, the Hall has inducted 58 of bicycling's most significant luminaries including the likes of Greg LeMond, "Major" Taylor, Alf Goullet, Connie Carpenter-Phinney, Frank Kramer, Jackie Simes, George Mout, Jim Ochowicz, Sheila Young and the "Tour of Somerville" -- America's oldest, continuously-run bicycle race.

What next for the Hall of Fame?

  • Move into a new permanent facility;
  • Acquire added memorabilia to an ever-growing repository of bicycles, jerseys, trophies, medals, newsclips and photos;
  • Develop ongoing safety and educational programs for cyclists of all ages;
  • Begin long-range planning for a future Hall of Fame Sports Complex that will house a critierium course and velodrome, providing a safe and inspiring venue for licensed and recreational cyclists of all ages to compete and ride for pleasure.
