In early November, the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame had its second induction ceremony in Davis, California, the new home of the sport's Hall of Fame.
For diverse cyclists and contributors to the sport of cycling were inducted in nearly four-hour evening at Freeborn Hall at UC Davis: Richard Cortright, three-time Olympian; Phyllis Harmon, lifetime cyclist, legendary volunteer; Clayton John, BMX icon, businessman, promoter; and Nelson Vails, Olympic and World Championship medalist, professional keirin racer.
The induction ceremony included various speeches, including the keynote address by Connie Carpenter-Phinney, wife of Davis Phinney and mother of Taylor Phinney.
Media attendance was sparse, but the event was covered by Examiner.com, the Davis Enterprise, and as I just discovered KCRA, channel 3, the NBC affiliate in Sacramento.
Here's a link to the station's two-minute video: U.S. Bicycle Hall of Fame induction.
