People

Mountain biking was created by people: the racers, supporters, influencers, entrepreneurs, customers, personalities and not just the builders and brands which most of mtbtimeline focuses upon. The Mt. Biking Hall of Fame honors most who have been significant to the ongoing of story of mountain biking. This section of the timeline will try to visually show the people within timelines and by types or regions, such as early pioneers, racers, etc.
