The Sheffield Walk of Fame, that is. The Star report that he’s the latest person to win a star on it, alongside new civic awards for twenty unsung heroes of the city. Peaty joins Jessica Ennis, Def Leppard, Joe Cocker and a host of others.
In just under a month, he’ll be running Peaty’s Bike Bonanza in the city.
The Star write of the new star recipient:
It will be Steve Peat, a world champion mountain biker who was born in Chapeltown and has held the global title on several occasions.
The unveiling ceremony for his star in the Sheffield Legends scheme – which has returned after a year’s break due to the Tour de France – will take place next month as he joins the likes of Olympian Jessica Ennis-Hill and actor Sean Bean.
Former plumber and dad Mr Peat said: ”It is a huge honour to be selected by the people of Sheffield to join some of my heroes on Sheffield’s ‘walk of fame’.
“It is always great to be acknowledged by the people from my home town, as I have always been proud to represent Sheffield and this country wherever I’ve competed around the world.”
