The First 10 Years of the League’s Education Program

Posted on October 29, 2013 by jsallen

A bit of history — Bill Frey, who served Chairman of the League of American Wheelmen (later, League of American Bicyclists) Education Committee, prepared a history of the League’s education program in 1986. Steve Gottlieb, Frey’s successor in that position, has kindly supplied the document in digital form. I have formatted it and added endnotes and a list of references (more to come at locations marked with asterisks). John Forester, founder of the education program, has offered several comments which I have included in the endnotes. The document is here in PDF format.
