On 17 December 2009, the names of fifty one people involved in cycling to be inducted into the British Cycling Hall of Fame were announced. The selection panel, whose job it was to whittle the names down from 300 nominations, consisted of Brian Cookson, William Fotheringham, Robert Garbutt, Peter King, Victoria Pendleton and Hugh Porter.[1][2] The inaugural induction ceremony was held on 20 February 2010 at Manchester Central, hosted by television present Dermot Murnaghan.[3] Further members were inducted in 2014, 2016 and 2023.
