Congratulations to Adele Croxon Peat! Inducted into The British BMX Hall Of Fame Class of 2024, Female Racer Category

Adele Croxon, hailing from the North West, was one of the mid-80s riders who quickly rose to prominence in the UK after discovering BMX and entering the race scene. Before long, Adele was winning National and British Championship titles, riding for teams such as Boss, the powerhouse Titan Team, Cyclecraft, and later Giant/Mosh.

Adele competed in both European and World Championships, achieving 2nd place at the European Championships twice and securing 4th place at the 1986 Slough Worlds. She followed this success with another Worlds final appearance in Orlando, Florida, in 1987.

She made history in the prestigious ABA Grand Nationals in Oklahoma and the Race of Champions, becoming the first British rider ever to win the event.

In the 1990s, Adele transitioned to pro racing in the Supergirls category, continuing to amass titles before seizing the opportunity to try mountain biking. She joined the Animal Team, riding alongside notable names such as Steve Geall, Tim Pointing, the Kitchen brothers, Andy Bostock etc and and Greg Minnaar.

After BMX, Adele enjoyed a successful mountain biking career and went on to marry one of the sport’s biggest names, Steve Peat. She now lives in Sheffield with Steve and their family.

We congratulate Adele as she joins the 2022 and 2023 inductees, Lisa Wright and Luli Adeyemo, in the British BMX Hall of Fame Class of 2024 in the Female Racer category.
