Talking pioneers, we might think about putting John Howard up there.

He didn't pioneer anything notable. And he didn't win anything
outside the US.

Pan Am Games RR. But yeah, he was a domestic US guy mainly - not the
real top level.

Other accomplishments:

--Hit 150ish MPH while motorpacing a purpose-built car

--Refused to work with Mount during the 76 Olympics (according to Mount)

--Won one of the first Ironman triathlons

--Did the race that later became RAAM (I'm kinda hazy on this)


So he did a lot on his bike. But not sure I'd put him on Rushmore.
