Need for Better Roads Pt. 2

  The cry for better roads was initiated by cyclists from the League of American Wheelmen (LAW) in the 1870s. The broad-based crusade to build and improve the condition of the U.S roads came to be known as the Good Roads Movement. Later in the 20th century automobilists joined the campaign. Nowadays, the League of American Wheelmen is known as the League of American Cyclists.
