Greensboro loses out on Bicycling Hall of Fame
GREENSBORO — The U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame decided to go west.
The hall and museum plans to relocate to Davis, Calif. a city with a rich cycling history.
“I think it speaks well of Greensboro that we made it to the final two,” said Neil Belenky, head of a task force trying to lure the hall and museum to the Gate City. “We beat out nine other cities and competed in the end against the No. 1 cycling community in the U.S.”
Efforts to reach Bill Brunner, who headed the hall of fame search committee, were unsuccessful.
Belenky said he had been notified of the outcome Thursday morning, but could not say what issues had swung the decision Davis’ way.
Officials at the hall announced about a year ago that they wanted to leave their long-time home in Somerville, N.J., after the location was sold for redevelopment.
