The desire of Frank Weston and Charles Pratt for a national bicycle organization rallied a bicycle meet at Newport, Rhode Island on May 29, 1880. Previous to the parade, a meeting called by Pratt was held in the skating rink. It was at this meeting that the League of American Wheelmen came into being, in response to this new and rapidly emerging cycling craze.
