Print, "Nocturnal Parade of the League of American Wheelmen," circa 1885
01
Artifact Overview
The League of American Wheelmen advocated for good roads and fought for the rights of cyclists. One way to promote the organization was to participate in festivals or parades. This print shows cyclists wheeling down a street in St. Louis, Missouri. The number of cyclists -- some blaring horns -- and fireworks certainly brought attention to the organization and its causes.
