The Chattanooga Bicycle Club is pleased to announce a new partnership with long time bicycle community supporter Owen Cyclery as Presenting Sponsor for the Chattanooga Cycling Hall of Fame Classes of 2025 and 2026.

Founded in 1973 by Tom Owen, Sr., Owen Cyclery is a full-service bike shop in Hixson and the go-to place for high-quality bicycles such as Cannondale, Scott, BMC, and Salsa.  Aside from  selling bikes and giving sound advice to all comers, Erik Hunt and his experienced team continue the company’s 50+ year tradition of actively promoting bicycling as well as supporting a wide array of cycling initiatives in the Chattanooga area.

This tradition had its origins in 1967 when Tom Owen, Sr., an early cycling safety advocate and innovator, co-founded  the CBC.  Moreover, for nearly three decades Owen Cyclery has been a sponsor for the CBC’s 3 State 3 Mountain Century as well as the current Cycle Sequatchie Century and 3 Mountain Challenge. We are honored to have Owen Cyclery as an ongoing partner and Presenting Sponsor for the Chattanooga Cycling Hall of Fame.

The Chattanooga Cycling Hall of Fame celebrates the achievements of those individuals who have distinguished themselves as members of our local cycling community; positively impacting the sport of cycling.  Although only established in  2022, the HOF has quickly become an institution in the local cycling community. Eleven area cyclists in three classes have been inducted so far. 

Nominees are now being accepted by the Cycling HOF Nominating committee for the Class of 2025.  If you know of someone who should be recognized please contact Forrest Simmons via forrest.simmons4@gmail.com.
