SARASOTA (SNN-TV) – Sarasota resident Alice Bixler will be inducted into the National BMX Hall of Fame this Saturday, Oct. 7, at a ceremony expected to bring more than 200 BMX fans and riders from across the country to Tulsa, OK.
Alice is being honored as the Lifetime Achievement Inductee and will be joined by seven other BMX legends—all of whom were determined to make a significant impact on the sport of BMX.
Alice played a vital role in Florida’s thriving BMX scene since the 1970s. She first became involved with BMX in 1974 after taking the neighborhood kids to a local track in Sarasota and soon found herself volunteering at the track as a scorer.
In 2008, the Alice Bixler Scholarship Program was established to honor Alice for her many contributions to the sport of BMX and has since awarded over $152K in scholarships.
