Nominations Needed for Florida Cycling Hall of Fame
A select number of individuals are deserving of special recognition for their outstanding contributions to cycling in Florida. They are the ones who were instrumental in founding the local cycling clubs, building the mountain bike trails, promoting the races and events and representing the state as cycling ambassadors around the world.
The new Florida Cycling Hall of Fame intends to gather these names and create a system to identify and preserve the history of Florida cycling with the inaugural 2008-2009 Hall of Fame induction.
This program is soliciting the help of the Florida cycling community in preserving its history and culture. Cyclists across the state are encouraged to volunteer in assisting the program. Currently the program is seeking qualified members to sit on a committee to vote on the submitted nominees for induction into the Florida Cycling Hall of Fame. If you'd like to nominate someone or get involved, visit the Hall of Fame and download a nomination form.
Categories under consideration include: Cyclist of the Year, Junior Cyclists of the Year (under 18), Multi-Discipline Cyclists of the Year, Cycling Business Contributor of the Year, Cycling Club Founder, Trail Builder, Cycling Advocate of the Year. Cyclists of the Year for Past Achievement
The first honorary inductee is John Sinibaldi of St. Petersburg. A two-time Olympian and 18-time national champion, his cycling career spanned seven decades. John passed away two years ago at 92 having rightfully earned his nickname "The Legend."
But still under construction
