Fantastic 1890s bicycle-related pass. No. 11393, issued for 1898 to Hayden R. Lothrop of Hartford, Connecticut. Preprinted signature of secretary Bassett. Fancy design with underprint message "We Want Good Roads" and logo with crossed American flags. Printed on cardstock by Boston Bank Note & Lith. This bicycle league was founded in 1880. Bicyclists ( wheelmen) were challenged by rutted roads of gravel and dirt and faced antagonism from horsemen, wagon drivers, and pedestrians. More than 100,000 cyclists from across the United States joined the League to advocate for paved roads, ultimately paving the way for our national highway system. Now known as the League of American Bicyclists.
