U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame Induction Nomination Form

Nomination Application Induction Nomination 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 categories: 1. Competitors: Success at the national & international level are usually required to achieve selection 2. Contributors: Advanced the sport through contributions in the areas of equipment, coaching, and overall promotion of the sport. Nominees may come from all disciplines of the sport including: 1. Road & Track 2. Cyclo-cross 3. Mountain Biking 4. BMX Categories for 2012: 1. Veteran: Road and Track – 1970 and prior. 2. Modern: Road and Track – 1971 to 2007 3. Off Road (including BMX, Cyclocross and Mountain Biking) 4. Contributor (any discipline)

Authority to Nominate: 1. Anyone can nominate a candidate, but must provide supporting documentation of the nominee’s accomplishments in order for the nominee to be considered for placement on the ballot. 2. Submitted documents will not be returned and are retained as part of the Hall of Fame’s archives. Please submit copies of materials you wish to keep. Balloting & Voting Process 1. The USBHOF Inductee Selection Committee will assemble the ballot from the qualified applications submitted. Again, documentation of accomplishments is critical to the process. 2. Each Category is represented on its own ballot. 3. 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. 4. The votes are tallied and the new class of inductees are notified and invited to the annual Induction Dinner and Ceremony which is open for public attendance and provides the opportunity to meet and greet America’s cycling greats.
