Reinhart grew up in Macungie, Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley region of the state.
On September 17, 2000, Reinhart was killed during a 42-mile circuit race held on a 3.5-mile course in Arlington, Massachusetts. Her left pedal and foot hit a concrete curb and she was thrown from her bicycle and struck a tree. (The accident that killed Wouter Weylandt in May 2011 happened in almost precisely the same manner) This event was the last of four races comprising the 2000 Business Service Management Software Cycling Grand Prix.
The prize was donated to her family, who established the Nicole Reinhart Foundation in Macungie, Pennsylvania, in her honor.
A park, the Reinhart Park, was built in the spot she died, to commemorate her. In 2004, Reinhart was inducted posthumously into the Lehigh Valley Velodrome Hall of Fame in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania.
