Ray and all, I am on the Bd of Directors of the U.S. Bicycle Hall of Fame and on its home search committee. Indeed we are looking for a new home. In fact I plan to bring some Requests for Proposals to Cirque to distribute to anyone there who might like to pursue locating the USBHOF in their community. Seems like a good opportunity to spread the word to folks from around the country. It is indeed a shame that such a wonderful collection is, essentially, in storage. Although a nice piece of our materials are on display at the Home Depot Center ADT Velodrome in California including a Major Taylor bike. Edward Albert Chappaqua, New York, U.S.A.
