As for Cooperstown, I think it's kind of cool that it is in a hard to reach place. If you want to make the pilgrimage to Mecca, it's not all bad that you have to trek a little bit to get there. If the HOF were in New York City, it be just another obligatory stop on the dreaded museum tour.

If Lance is the only rider you know it might take a lot of explaining.
Lance is NOT in the hall of fame.... sort of like Jackson and Rose.
Major Taylor
Bobby Walthour Sr
And junior
Steve Hegg - Olympic gold in 84 plus a silver, several national championships.
John Howard - Olympic team 68, 72, 76, Won the road race in the Pan Am games in 71, four national championships, won the 81 ironman, and oh yeah, a motorpaced world record in 1985
Rebecca Twigg- six world championships in Pursuit, 16 national championships.
Ted Ernst- as a contibutor, having a family history of bike shops supporting racers. But he also was a pioneer of US riders competing professionally in Europe in the early postwar era.
And a bunch more.
