Worcester Considered For Bicycling Hall Of Fame

WORCESTER (WBZ) ― Worcester is one of the top five contenders to become the new home of the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame.

The New Jersey-based group, which started in 1986 by a group of bicycling enthusiasts, say they are looking for a location to expand their museum.

Worcester does have one claim to fame in the bicycling world. In 1899, city native Marshall "Major" Taylor, known as the "Worcester Whirlwind", won the 1-mile world championship.

Those who will determine the museum's new location say they are still in the early stages of the process.
